I am glad I live in Tasmania

I am glad I live in Tasmania
Where we haven’t got EI yet.
Some think its still coming
And are taking an each way bet.

The borders out of Victoria,
Have been opened wide,
We have been told not to be
Complacent, nor let bio security slide

We were told to not hold events
And not mix with anyone
The vaccines they are coming
But it’s not for everyone

It all depends on what hat your wearing
Some prefer a Cup hat with a brim so wide
Others prefer a hard hat or Akubra
To put on their heads when they ride

It also depends on the money
Or what you think they are worth
Some can run like the wind on a racetrack
And some are the salt of the earth

It was the cough that stopped the nation
And I don’t believe it is over yet
EI doesn’t make the distinction
Between the racehorse and the backyard pet.

So be glad we live in Tasmania
Where yearling sales are about to be run
Where interstate buyers are hoping
To find that perfect one

Don’t worry they’re all vaccinated
And will be sound of lung and wind
And bio security is at every airport
To stop the interstaters bringing it in

So be glad we live in Tasmania
Cause we all know that after Santa has come
That the race against EI will be over
On December the 31st the race will be won.

Now if some of you believe this propaganda
And know that some of you do
There is a bridge across the Derwent
That I would like to sell to you.
