The Australian Dollar - a lament
Oh, woe betide the Aussie Dollar!
It's never been so low -
Sliding down the foriegn exchange,
How far can it go?
Woe betide our True-Blue buck!
It's looking very glum -
Our currency is now so cheap
It's not fit to wipe your bum.
Oh, lament the diving dollar!
The out-look's getting black -
It's feeling blue, it's looking sick,
It's greener than the greenback.
Curse the Nasdaq and the Dow,
Hang the Hang Seng too -
Curse the FooTSiE, blast the Nikkei,
There's not much else to do.
It makes it hard to travel
With worthless currency -
A plague upon the cost of oil
And the price of Chinese tea!
I hope the price of certain tickets
Won't be blown sky-high -
Although I'll save for months and months,
If I miss out, I'll ... be really pissed off.
The dollar's stuffed, there is no doubt;
It's in a dreadful state.
The economy's gone up the spout...
That's it - we're buggered, mate!
(The first, last, and only time that finance has inspired poetry in me...
