Ode to Fitzroy

Oh? Fitzroy.

You live in the coolest part of town,

gushed the She-Millennial.

Actually, it was hip

When I moved here,

I said,

25 years ago,

When I thought I'd

Just discovered it,

Which made the people laugh

Who discovered it

Before me.

And those,

before them.

Fitzroy has always been cool,

the first suburb,

and the smallest

with Brothels,

and Booze,

and Vice, it was a brewing

The poor

The down trodden

Aboriginals, Australia's first fellas

Hippies

Artists

Intellectuals, so amusing

DINKS

Yuppies

Hipsters, coffee brewing

And the great big

rainbow melting pot,

Woohooing!
