He says me like Australia but me from far away <br />From Java in Indonesia tis there me first saw light of day <br />Me cannot be an Aussie though me can say 'good day mate' <br />And when Aussies win at cricket me too does celebrate <br />When people ask me where me come from me say me Javanese <br />They ask me to repeat that you say that again please <br />Perhaps me slur me words a bit after five or six beers <br />But then some Aussies it does seem are born with lazy ears <br />Me a hard working fellow me work hard for me pay <br />And nothing ever easy ever seem to come me way <br />Me work hard and me party hard and me make the most of life <br />Just twenty two close to me prime and don't have a child or wife <br />And when some ask me where you from me say me Javanese <br />And when they ask say that again me say it rhymes with cheese.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-javanese/
