Gimme a home in modern Oz

Folder: 
2024

 

Give me a home in modern Oz, where the Wi-Fi’s fast and free,  

With solar on the rooftop and an electric SUV.  

A veggie garden thriving, with avocados, greens, and peas,  

And a native bee hotel nestled in the eucalyptus trees.

 

I'll have an eco-friendly house, with recycled timber floors,  

A rainwater tank out back, and smart locks on the doors.  

With solar panels on the roof, generating my own power,  

And a compost bin in the garden, for food scraps and the flowers.

 

Give me a home in modern Oz, where community is strong,  

With markets on the weekends and music all night long.  

A coffee shop on every corner, serving up the local brew,  

And a park for picnics, where we can all enjoy the view.

 

Let's have a home that's inclusive, where everyone belongs,  

Where we celebrate our cultures with dances, food, and songs.  

A place where we respect the land, and the stories it has told,  

Where ancient wisdom guides us and new stories can unfold.

 

Give me a home in modern Oz, with room for all to grow,  

Where we work towards a future that’s sustainable and slow.  

With nature all around us, and the city not too far,  

In a place that we call home, beneath our Southern star.
