Thank you Derek, for injecting some humour into the frightening direction our country (New Zealand NOT Aotearoa), seems to be heading in.
Well done. I guess you had to narrow the list down to only twelve to make the song work.
If you do another one next year, you may not be allowed to publish it.
It is so sad that wry critcal humour, once so much a part of the presidng culture, is now only available outside of the msm. The ditty has endless possibilities; Waitangi Tribunal rulings etc etc
Well spoken Derek !!
You got it right !!
