Yeah thanks <br />For the Welcome to Country <br />But I don’t need it <br />You see <br />I was born here <br />And so were my parents <br />And both sets of grand-parents <br />Except Grandfather <br />He was a German Jewish Pom <br />Shipped over <br />When he was just a boy <br />Another boat person <br />Except <br />He did it legally <br />And waited in line <br />Like I do <br />At the supermarket <br />With everyone else <br />No queue jumping for me <br />That would be <br />Un-Australian <br />If you did want to <br />Welcome me to country <br />You should have been there <br />At Princess Anne’s Hospital <br />In Mount Lawley <br />Fifty odd years ago <br />When I was born <br />Or maybe <br />You should have been there <br />In bed <br />Next to Mum and Dad <br />Nine months earlier <br />When I was conceived <br />No need to worry <br />About any smoking ceremony <br />You see <br />Mum and Dad <br />Would have had their own <br />Thanks anyway <br />But no thanks <br />Mate<br /><br />Dean Meredith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thanks-but-no-thanks-4/
