Autoplay

Who won out in Australia
and were called ambos
were ambulance men and women.

Ambulators had to o elsewhere.
Less strenuous ones of those
became promenados;
ones more so, marchos.

For the ambidextrous
we abandoned o-lore
and called one of them
a look-out-for.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Australians have a tendency to put os on their nouns and names.
Pram: baby carriage on wheels
Ambulator: walker.
As of 31.Oct 2018 'look-out-for' and all 'os' but 'ambos' are my projections.
'We abandoned' should be 'I...'.
