A Dog’s Tail . . .
Wot’s wiv the pointy heads?
Gidday, Billy Border Collie back wiv youse. Tell ya wot, it’s got reel quiet ona farm these days. The Boss is spending a helluva lota time ina wool shed wiva wisescreen TV. I ’spose it figgers ’cos he rilly got it ta wotch tha werld rugby cup ina first place. Mind you, he hasn’t changed ’is tune that much wen it comes ta tha townies wots runnin’ tha show. Even Sharlene, ’is girlfriend (’an me best mate jus’ quiet-like) sez she’s a bit flummixed (wotever that rilly means) at tha amounta munny bein’ chucked ata rugby circus. (That’s wot she calls it.) “Looky here Dog,” she sez. Didja see them firewerks ona Friday night for tha openin’ ceremony? How much munny ya reckin went up ina clouda smoke eh? Bloody near a cupla million dollas!” Wow. Tha woulda paid a few speedin’ tickits fer tha Boss eh? Not ta mention a few bagsa Tux. Then Sharlene went on — ana Boss wuz
noddin; agreement from ‘is seat ona casa stubbies: “‘An just lookit that blimmin’ party central place ona waterfront. Here we got a blimmin recession ana cafe’s ’n restronts an’ bars all over town needin’ lotsa customers. So wot happins. Tha govmint open’s up it’s own bloody bar an’ restaurant in competition under a nine millyin dolla umbrella ona wharf. Ya wooda thought all them people coulda gone explorin’ town an’ findin’ tha reel kiwis. Nah, they come ’ere ta New Zealan for a rugby, an’ I bet many of ’em will go ’ome reckinin’ we’re just a giant wharf wiv a television screen eh? “An anover thing.” I lookit ova ta the Boss an’ he was sittin’ back wiv ’is eyes closed. I thort he wuz concentatin’, till I saw ’is beer startin’ ta spill, so I wen’ over an give ’im a nudge wiv me nose. “Wassup, wha — yes dear,” he muttad. Sharlene din evin notice. “Anover thing. Look ata news, All ya get is rugby werld cup. Hasa hole werld stoppt in its tracks?” Boss was a bit more awake now. “Yep dear. Well, if ya lookit tha peeple they got ona telly, wot more can ya ’spect. Alla bloke’s got pointy heads.” He turned ona TV. There wuz this bloke ana Boss wuz right. He wuz talkin’ to another bloke wiv a mikrofone. They had pointy haircuts lika ridge of hair I got on me nose. Stiking out like wot tha Boss callsa ‘proverbial’ dog’s xxxxx (can’t say it in fronta Sharlene). “Nex’ thinga ya no,” saida Boss, “Bloody players’ll be tha same.
