Sodomney, Melbyarra and Canborrah - more verses needed for song



Remember those old country singalongs? In the back of a bus or truck?
Everyone would sing along, verse after verse, but be silent for the
punchline of each verse, while each person took a turn substituting
their own last line?

Well here's something true-blue Aussie to break with the weary acrimony
about matters technical and ideological which politicos' minds seem to
crave to the exclusion of all else.

Add your own verse or substitute your own last line to this one. Leave
your own last line blank if you can't think of a good one, and see if
someone else can fill it in for you. 

Let's call our collectively composed song "In the Land of Oz Today". If
it helps to sing along, it fits the tune of "May the Bird of Paradise
Fly up your Nose" ;-)  Budding songwriters feel free to contribute a
chorus as well:

Sodomney, Melbyarra and Canborrah
The goings-on will fill your mind with horror.
  The cuisine is devine 
  The dope will blow your mind
It's Australia's Golden Triangle, begorrah.
