Fragments of New Zealand

Barbecues, jandals and the long hot summer
Soaring mountains, clean fast-flowing rivers
virgin bush.

Can do, she'll be right
attitude
Yeah right Tui ads.

Kiwis, Kiwi Burgers
Maori and Pakeha
Treaty of Waitangi
1840.

Nuclear free, proud of it
and don't forget the
Rainbow Warrior.

Michael Joseph Savage, Norm Kirk, Keith Holoyoake
Gentleman Jack, David Lange and Spud Bolger.

Aotearoa
Land of the Long White Cloud.

Juxtaposition - a found poem

Gazing upon Gold
I will be the leader
or a Shearer
Disppearance would
be too hard to bear

Mad cow link
in hunters death
Settlement failure costs $3M
Shearer leadership
suffers defeat--

Way to Go David
Don't Labour too hard
