Like a Foster's Beer Commercial,
They think quite differently,
Like in America it's now Autumn,
Which is "Australian for Spring"

I believe yesterday was the first day of fall/autumn here in the good ole U.S.A....and, it was the first day of spring in Austrailia......If ya hadn't seen any of the Foster's beer commercials...(very funny), then this wouldn't have made any sense....but then again...when has a poem by Toerag made a whole lotta sense to anyone?...

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints in our heart and we are never ever the same.

Thank you all for leaving footprints!!

You like my country's beer then?
Good on ya mate!!
You should try some Redback Lager,
We all thinks it's really great!

And what of our fabled Vegemite,
Have you tried it, would you dare?
Many American's can't understand,
Their tastebuds just aren't there.

And Voilet Crumbles..
A chocolate for the coniseur,
Honeycomb bathed in Cadbury's Chocolate,
You should try it for sure.

Anyways, mate, just thought I'd share a joke with you. Glad you like our Foster's,though the most popular beer here is probably Castlemaine's!

So, when we have our autumnal equinox, is the Australian one vernal?...and when we have our vernal equinox, is the Australian one autumnal? and do your leaves change color in the spring or fall? Do you fall back and spring ahead like we do? Is it summer yet???

Australian seasons are just the opposite of ours..they are entering their warmer ones..imagine Christmas as a summer day!

Someone will have to drink my Fosters as I don't drink!!!
