Here enters this world, a parable;
a soul whisked from Anglo and Asian
beaten to the creamiest caramel
cast into a classic Australian.
Creator mixed me with wit and wonder,
folded in compassion and empathy,
she filled my guts with bolts of thunder
and hammered in the nails of humanity.
She cooked me until I was honey golden
measuring each and every state of play.
She watched me carefully, my path chosen
She knew I would be delicious some day.
