N Z Bubble Warning

Rating: 5.0


Listen! Australians. Before you fly over here,
don't think New Zealand's got nothing to fear;
that you won't be killed by a beast with a poisonous bite.
You must watch out for the weta -
the large, horned, wingless, venomous grasshopper.

Here, free of fear? Not quite.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
20.4.21. NZ just opened up to Australians again. Acc. to some, the weta is deadly; to others it is said to be to make Australians feel at home or less carefree.

Even though I would not want that thing sharing my pillow, it might be yummy covered in dark chocolate. Can the same be said of Aussies?
