 Tunarama, Port Lincoln, down under

β€œHere comes a tosser, if ever there was one.
Have a go, matey, it’s a thirty two pounder.
Not too much weight to throw for us Aussies
Though for pommies like you I’m sure it’s a big load.
Β 
Come on, matey. I don’t mean to goad
But you’ll not look good in your missis’ eyes
If you don’t give it a try.
Β 
Here matey, take the handle
And make sure you keep
Your size twelve sandals
Inside the throwing circle.
Β 
No touching, mind you,
That won’t do at all;
And remember the tuna’s
A fish not a ball!
Β 
Gee, golly, matey, what a big throw!
You’ve passed the test
Your lady’s impressed
Enjoy the rest of the show!
Β 
Before it starts to snow!
Β 
Sorry, matey! Just joking.
No, I’m not poking fun at you!
It was just a bit of chunder.
You’ve done really well.
Β 
Now don’t forget to tell
Your friends back in Blighty
About your almighty
Achievement.
Β 
Here is your scroll. Was that thunder? ,
Says you’re a big tosser
The same as us Aussies Down Under."
