Pedants For Putting It In Poem by Douglas Scotney

The main 4 stars of the Cross
on the Australian flag
stand for Justice,
Prudence, Temperance
and Fortitude.

What then stands the little star for?
For Compassion?
If that is so,
does New Zealand lack it
for leaving the little one out?
Is one of the 4 for NZers Compassion?
Do they leave 'Prudence' out?
Do they say simply this,
'We call the little one Little Dick
and on your flag it stands
for Pedantic'?
