Ingenuous Magnanimity



This day began in a novel way - the suggestion 
advanced initially decreed a state of unbiassed 
unanimity, which, after cappuccino number two 
was never in doubt - so plans where examined, 
without rancour or dissent, and ideas advanced 
as to how we’d cope productively with the early 
morning cool; after a month of extreme heat its 
fool’s paradise to not snatch an advantage - so 

The ute gets to play centre-piece in an intricate 
scheme to remove cursed lantana sprayed and 
thoroughly dead, boss Lady’s efforts had paid a 
handsome dividend; - and off we go, with ropes 
we plan to use to tow the blimmin’ weeds out of 
the ground - while singing hallelujah out loud - 

Bugger me, it actually worked, & we’re proud of 
the morning’s punitive effort’s effect on th’ weed 
we putatively love to hate; believe me mate, it’ll 
take more’n a miracle for them beggars to grow 
back; meantime we can pray for rain, or wait for 
the return of Winter’s ingenuous magnanimity
