[Page 43]

The fleet is sunk again;
The Australians all for India,
German Troops in Spain,
Darcy's training now in camp;
The Japs have got conscription
Our battles with the MMP's
Surpass all mans description.

Greene is climbing off the fence,
Smuts taken "German West",
Turks are in the Whassa;
Austrians much distressed,
Billy Hughes has died of gas
From Politicians speeches;
Ghidleys clothes are soon to be
The fashion on the beaches

Bush fires burn Canberra out;
The Murrumbidgee's dry;
The Wowsers have another win
