Old Blocker had a hairy Crack
Bush merging with his dusty sack
As he sat astride his trusty horse
perusing a novel Tim Winton of course…
This bush poetry doesn’t seem so difficult. How was that? Easy. Brown submitted this without comment. Bush poetry is traditionally terrible, but at least there’s no Fuck of we’re full stickers on the trailer. Is there a Sufi poets trailer? In the spirit of worstness they also have a desperately bad website, very similar in style to the insanely stupid mens confraternity site. (And that’s not Comic sans is it?) Perhaps some bush haiku from youse all? Would be nice if there was some B&S style fury from bush poets, but since they meet at the old folks home in Bentley, that would appear unlikely.
Bush poetry was a piece of piss
But The Lazy Aussie he learned this,
That a bumpkin’s grasp of irony
Was as useful as a cunt full of –
cold
milk
tea.
(Add some shit about the Diamantina)
(Thunderboxes)
(Sexing your swag)
(Salting your beef).
Someone please stop me!
The Worst of Perth 
I am just curious, but what would the Bush Poets and Yarn Spinners association need their own covered trailer for? What weather-sensitive treasures do these people covet?

What do they have against unreal Aussie poetry, or poems, for that matter ? Bush poetry ? Despite the lack of distracting pictures and extraneous information, and the colouring suitable for people suffering Irlen’s Syndrome, I puked. On the plus side, they did mention the name Duperouzel, even if it wasn’t Bruce. Now there’s a name you’d pay good money to hear Dennis recite.

TLA: reading your poem I noticed your use of “Was as useful as a cunt full of XXX”. Is this a common country expression that I have missed?
When I was a bit younger I did a bit of farm work out in our marvelous wheat belt. One morning during smoko we were all sitting around in the shed talking about rural issues and the like when the old timer who was running the show noticed the urn hadn’t been turned on and remarked “This cunt’s as cold as a cunt full of cold water”. He was right I suppose.

2. Joe Hockey is the conservatives’ great white hope. Joe Hockey.
3. LA’s mention of their insanely bad website led me to visit it again; imagine my astonishment when I read that the Men’s Confraternity has wound up due to having many many many MANY men willing to whinge about their rights and threaten women, and none prepared to pay to join the organisation or do anything to run it. Where would we be shazza, monkeypants and other ladies of TWOP, if the 1st 2nd and 3rd waves of feminism had thought whinging about their lack of rights was sufficient.

i’m especially liking this page of the mens confraternity: http://www.mensconfraternity.org.au/?page=p51
that makes the Womens Electoral Lobby sound like the New World Order. Perhaps it is. Perhaps it’s happening right of front of us.
Perhaps i should get the Citizens Electoral Council of Australia onto it.
And they fail to mention a few big points in their comparison of males to aboriginals with regards to rights:
1. the aborigines did not receive australia wide full voting rights until the mid sixties.
2. they did not have a representative in any parliament until 1971.
http://www.aec.gov.au/voting/indigenous_vote/aborigin.htm
as far as i know, the men of australia have had rights and many representatives in parliament for a bit longer than that in oz.
women have genuinely had to fight to change the mindset, not so much our generation but certainly my mums era- things like having to give up work once you got married, earning less money because you’re a chick, having crusty old men who are your boss understand that jokes about your tits are really not that funny. that was not that long ago.
but many groups in oz have had to fight to get real rights: unions, minorities, religions – the joy of living here is that you are in with a fighting chance if you have a valid cause.
i know from personal experience that lots of decent dads get screwed by the system, but so do lots of decent mums and lots of other decent human beings.
it’s a shame that they don’t have support to continue on but just perhaps they needed to broaden their agenda?
that’s my monday night rant.
