Australia And The British Poem by Paul Warren

Two hundred years ago
The British
Being British claimed
Australia
For the Crown and Empire
Why did they
You ask
Because the sun didn't set
The Royal Navy
And the French were around
Aborigines then
Well they didn't matter or comprehend
The British
Terra Nullius was the term
Nobody's Land
A Mistake
The court's now say about it
The British
Were wrong in what they did
But now
How do we fix 26 January
Australia Day.
