ER, it is the reverse version which is the equivalent of Om mani padme hum mantra of all inebriated beings. It is a certain proof that one is not inebriated 'enough' if one can sing the song entirely backwards.
If the kiwis are navel-gazing, they best do so very mindfully, lest they poke their beaks right through the middle & out the other side & will awake to find themselves feeling very deflated. No simple hangover, this.
Thank you for your literary creation Croix. You are helping inspire me to create worster poems. MK, “engorge a gorge” is a fine ending. Yes, too much naval gazing from a kiwi could lead that long snoot of theirs to poke through to the other side.
I had people like you at school. They would muck round, not study and generally have a good time - then come top of the maths class. I agonized over each syllable in the three lines of my haiku and you dash of a page's worth -sheesh
