THE STORY SO FAR, by JOHN CLARKE (AUSTRALIAN)
First Line: Poland works nicely
Last Line: And I'm king canute.
Subject(s): Parker, Dorothy (1893-1967)

Poland works nicely,
Chad's going well,
Burma's precisely
Successful as hell,
Haiti is lovely,
This time of year,
Sudan is just darling,
Thank God for Zaire,
Chile's a dish,
Brazil is a dream,
South Africa's bliss,
And Iran is a scream.
Go lease a car,
Go purchase a suit,
Everything's ducky,
And I'm King Canute.
