A Whinge in Poorly Constructed Couplets
Wed, 18 Jan 2006, 04:55 pmIt seems to me it's so unfair
To study PA anywhere
The government thinks I earn so much
My poor offspring can have no such
Thing as any allowance at all
To stay within the residential hall
No youth allowance to spend and nay
No help when interstate they stay
Not even one small brass razoo
To pay the rent when it is due
I pay my taxes, I pay my rates
I phone my Centrelink and waits
"We'd like to help but it's too hard
But she can have a low-income card
It will help her ride the bus
So that's what you gets from us!"
I wouldn't moan and I wouldn't curse
If things didn't keep on getting worse
I didn't mean to moan and bitch
But I'm really not that freakin' rich!

Cayra I sympathise with you. I too am going throught the same plight except I have one daughter going to waapa in perth, one daughter going to the sing over king in sydney and my youngest in Melbourne modelling in fashion week. They all leave within the next week. My husband and I are working to give our kids a chance in the areas they want to follow. The system makes it difficult.
What do ppl think, is it the rich kids that make it cos the parents can afford to send them or can anyone tell me from experience how hard it is to do everything yourself. Or is that what parents are for, its our choice.
The system does suck.
