Free Conveniences



If we’re supposed to be surprised when our last 
post plays continuously, then we are of another 
time and probably some other galaxy; tonight’s 
no different for sure & NBN broadband satellite 
reception is playing fancy free, while Foxtel TV 
seems practically unaffected - just checking on 
approaching storms we can hear brewing off to 
th’ SW takes th’ mickey out of being connected 

OK, NBN’s Government funded - while Foxtel’s 
an enterprise with pay-for-view options you'll be 
rightly surprised still work as NBN fails - it nails 
the lid on somebody’s coffin about utilities even 
we’re not supposed to be without; oh, the PM’s 
author of that misanthropic bout of malarkey 

But the TV hasn’t faltered in the slightest, while 
our NBN connect disappears on a whim bared 
as a senseless mess occasionally meandering 
off track, so we best put our faith into th’ Radio 
again which sufficed for the ages it took to see 
there’s no such thing as free conveniences …
