Whinging Poms All Sent Home
Whinging Poms All Sent Home
Preamble
Some blighter's accused me of grumbling like a Pom! A WOLer at that. What nerve! Us Aussies won't put up with this. A rapid retort is required here.. Yes skippy? thump thump .....
I like living Under
But saying I'm a Pom
Who likes whinging, whining
Is way off, all wrong
Our humour is subtle
Subtle with wit
We're not geriatrics
Not silly old gits
We're learned, read Shakespeare
No baa baa black sheep
Leave this for the kiddies
Right level, not deep
So if you still think
I whinge like a Pom
We sent them all back
To UK, they're gone

The phrase probably had some justification in years past but it's
a failure of understanding to think of it as a weakness..
If you're prone to a moan
You're not alone
Brits do it frequently
But just remember their old refrain
When bombed and blitzed: "Oh...can't complain"
And you might want to think again
Before resorting to grimace and groan. ?
