Since I've seen koalas

I don't call it spag bol anymore

I call it spaghetti bolognese

and describe certain people as the type

of person who says 'spag bol.'

She's been different since she's been 

going to the woods in her pyjamas

at night time to scream. Not better,

just different.

The people in the office who didn't

go up the mountain barely know

what to do with themselves anymore.

They all want to go up a mountain now

but the people who went up the mountain

say no, it wouldn't be the same.

My uncle told me he was an astronaut

Even as a five year old I knew he was lying

but when he died I made sure 

it was in his obiturary. It made the front page

of our local newspaper

and a journalist wrote a piece about

how little we really know about who lives

on what appears to be a normal street

in a normal town. I tell my tiny nephew

that one day he'll be able to go on a rocket

to the moon but he's more interested

in his book about fire engines.
