From one Melburnian to another, I feel your pain! On a happy note, it's been the best weather for holiday makers that we've had for years.
Loved your poem, expertly crafted and very entertaining.
I happened across it by chance - I didn't know you'd tagged me into it until I saw your footnote. For some reason I didn't get a notification. Now I wonder if I've missed others. :-/ Thank you for the tag. I'll see what the muse and I can come up with. :)
