Metagnostic Moomba: The Sneaker-Set Parade



The lamplights are aglow
on the streets of Sheffield
and the evening dew has settled
on green blades underfoot

HOP-HOP-STOMP

Down the pavement comes the procession
batons awhirl and cymbals clatter
sneakers red and sneakers blue
hearts and smiles are on the march

HOP-HOP-STOMP

Charming the spirit of Nooralie
wives with spears in the air
Doppler drone of the thunner-spale
drifts through the ville, sonorous

HOP-HOP-STOMP

Clad in their modern-day lap-lap
the new stomp of a kapa haka
unbridled joy enthusiastic
with humble attire -- paper, not plastic
