Two Limericks, by CSS

There once were two girls in Australia
The result of US econ failiah
In October they'd landed
On Syd. beaches so sanded
Decked out in swim paraphernalia.

The girls met a lass named Matilda.
With Aussie info she was filled-a.
She gave them a tour.
Told them good Aussie lore.
Then went waltzin' o'er a big ol' field-a.


(Note:

1. For the purpose of this limerick, the word failure has been changed to "failiah" so that it appears as it sounds according to Australian pronunciation. The author did this because a) she couldn't think of anything else that rhymed with Australia except for "azalea," and because b) it's far more authentic....don't you think?
   
2. The author takes no responsibility for the poorly written nature of the above. )
