With definite inspiration from Bill Manhire’s Hotel Emergency a dodgy Facebook translation from Swedish to English turned into a poem on the state of the nation.

I hereby explain mushroom season in New Zealand has begun.

A little dry, but they are going.

I hereby explain corporate season in New Zealand has begun.

Operationalised, strategically aspiration plus aligned.

I hereby explain knee jerk season in New Zealand has begun.

Canceled , wasted, long term vision downsized .

I hereby explain mushroom season in New Zealand has begun.

Growing in my cracked rotten windowsill, rental with a garden.

I hereby explain puritan season in New Zealand has begun.

Bikinis are coming to kill our sons.

I hereby explain bottom feeder season in New Zealand has begun.

Sucking your wealth from a South Auckland garage.

I hereby explain poverty season in New Zealand has begun.

The living on the streets is denting consumer confidence.

I hereby explain mushroom season in New Zealand has begun.

Blue Meanies distributed, trip into summer.

I hereby explain prohibition season in New Zealand has begun.

A little dry, but they are going to be drier.  

I hereby explain cringe season in New Zealand has begun.

Weighing out the books , too heavy to read them.

I hereby explain frozen season in New Zealand has begun.

Draught stoppers and blankets , sweatshirts worn to bed.

I hereby explain sunset season in New Zealand has begun.

Golden beams lighting the way across the horizon.

I hereby explain mushroom season in New Zealand has begun.

A little dry, but they sure are all going.
