Are we there yet?
Do we have to go today,
The trip is such a long, long way,
Are we there yet?
All these traffic lights at red,
I could have been at home, in bed,
Are we there yet?
The traffic here's so very slow,
You know I didn't want to go,
Are we there yet?
Why'd I drink that cup of tea,
Can we stop, I need a wee,
Are we there yet?
Now it's pouring down with rain,
This whole thing is such a pain,
Are we there yet?
Can't you drive like extra quick,
I think I'm going to be sick,
Are we there yet?
When we're there, I'll help her bake
A big fat, sticky chocolate cake,
Are we there yet.
That's up to you - that's why we've come,
To see your geriatric mum,
No, we're not yet!
Ach. I was being facetious about the looking after returned soldiers. I think they mostly get a pretty raw deal. But it’s true that we do war memorials very well. And portions of society take ANZAC Day very seriously.

ugh. Some drives can seem endless. Driving home from the beach on the weekend, I was relegated to the backseat. Didn’t enjoy it much.

I hate being that back seat passenger. I got car sick on that winding road along the south coast of Australia. 🤢

That’s the one. Great beaches though. Wasn’t the road built be ex-soldiers or something?

Probably. We do look after our returned soldiers gently and carefully in Australia. Famous for it.

I was at Ocean Bay on Anzac day. The service was very moving.
