Said one old Transvaal pioneer: "There's no place for luxuries here. You can't load your cart With pineapple tart Or fill it with kegs of Dutch beer".

In springtime, we sang in a choir. The church had a picturesque spire And statues of martyrs In breeches and garters. Alas, the acoustics were dire.

I didn't stay here and complain About being drenched yet again. I flew off to Crete, But the blistering heat Was a drawback — I yearned for some rain.

A school board approved a revision Of history, with its decision To use the word 'Rex' Regardless of sex In textbooks. This caused much derision.
