Royally Catered

Me lil’ pommy mate’s about to turn seven - and 

on Saturday, August 12, we’ll be entertained by 

just how erudite she is; with a superb fluency in 

Swedish, & the parochial parlance Aussies term 

their local lingo, she’ll no doubt delight all of her 

AngloSaxon mates with amazing ‘epithets’ from

her bilingual repository without missing a beat - 

she’s probably already practicing a street show 

But you don’t need waste too much effort Stella 

Ingrid - gal - you’re a natural - we’ll look forward 

t’ helping you celebrate your way - so hip hip ‘n 

hooray from Ozzie t’ youse Londoners who’ll be 

royally catered; and please remember to remind 

her she’s tru blu Aussie - & that we miss her too
