A bit irreverent this time.
Apologies to my NSW friends. Could be your turn next year, but it will be..”An Ekk of a job”
I once worked with a lunatic, at Brisbane’s Ekka fair
The Ratbag did some crazy things and here’s one I will share
We held down jobs in maintenance and one day on our break
A ride upon the Ferris Wheel, he reckoned we should take
So there we were up in the sky and looking down below
When Einstein gets this bright idea, a spanner he should throw
A Ticket Seller took the Patron’s cash and said “Proceed”
And cruelly, Robert pondered “How much brain would that bloke need?”
“What do you mean?” I shuddered, as he dropped his big Sidchrome
Seconds later, SPLAT, it landed on the poor Blokes dome
Half his brain fell off, though he still worked, but not as fast
“Let’s try a wrench” the Demon shrieked with maniacal blast
Directly underneath, it hit the Ticket Seller’s top
The part remaining of his brain went rolling out the shop
Of course he had to quit, but every year he never fails
to make a ‘Bob’, with the Blues cheer squad..
“Come on New South Wales!”
Happy Ekka,
