Money Down The Dunny

by Sankey

 
"Down Under's" funny money
Is going down the dunny
Because "Up Over's"
Folks have gone away.

It's led to much frustration
As U.S. is on vacation
For three months,
We may as well
Just stay away.

Our works are in a queue
Still waiting for review
Perhaps we should just post
"Rewardless" too.

It's true we should remember
That from June until September
Some firey poem and prose tenderer's
Die down and turn to embers.

I'm glad to see still one or two
"Up over's" posting for review
I know that I can count on you
To keep reviewing my stuff too.

Definitions for all you folks who don't understand.

Funny (also known as "Phoney") money is what we here in FS call the earned Member dollars for reviewing work. I am glad I learned how to work the system here to save actually outlaying real money to promote stuff.
"Dunny" is a slang term for a toilet and the term is used here to refer to money going to waste or being used to no purpose.
"Up Overs," I think is also understood to refer to North of the Equator, especially folks from the USA. "Down Unders" is a fairly well-understood term referring especially to we folks from Australia, or south of the Equator.
The picture is of a Dissolvenator an ancient form of toilet (or Dunny) used in a lot of rural places in Australia if not these days, back in the 40's and 50's.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
