Would you like one of these on your street?

This poem came about as a result of a suggestion from one of my valued contributors cornlegend,  who thought that a poem on the “Node” would be good.

So cornlegend, this ones for you mate   😀

An ode to Abbotts Node

 

The fibre node, is sadly

Not a thing of wonder

In a street corner cabinet

So susceptible to blunder

When a street racer crashes

Of his car, it’ll end up under

As the poor old copper connectors,

Will all get torn asunder

😯

It’s the Abbott and the Turd balls

preferred and favoured plan

To run all optical fibre

To the street corner can

Which is really quite surprising

For Mal the tech head man

Cos he knows that the faster speeds

Will just end up in the pan

😦

But he doesn’t really care cos it’s

The LNP party line

And his dummy spits on NBN

Are comparable to Pyne

Who is payed a lot of money

To do nothing but just whine

But the Abbott and his party

Seem to think that that’s just fine

😀

Rejecting without conscience

The fibre to the home

While Abbott’s ignorance flounders

In a sea of mental foam

As he struggles with the concept

Of the need for us to roam

Across the internet, gold plated,

Rather settling for chrome

🙄

And the Turd ball is a hypocrite

Of proportions very vast

As he tries to sell a system that takes us

Forward to the past

Using old and worn out copper

That is destined not to last

And the evidence clear

That it’s wearing out quite fast

😯

But don’t ask Tony Abbott cos

He’s enamoured with the node

Cos it’s cheaper running fibre

To the end of every road

Than to run it to the home,

Which is Labors mother load

So instead of a high speed greyhound,

Abbott offers a cane toad

😉

And I know that there are those who think

The node is much maligned

Cos our future with the internet

By speed has been defined

And the fibre to the home

Is the system most refined

And the fibre to the node should

To our history, be confined

😀

But the node is symptomatic

Of the LNP’s intent

As they seek to save a dollar

Through their ideological bent

Arguing why supply fast broadband

To those who struggle to pay the rent

It’s the rich that deserve the faster speeds

And to them it should be sent

😯

So don’t whinge and whine you peasants

With copper running from the road

As you can’t afford the luxury

Of the faster mother load

And if the LNP are elected

The truth is… well… it doesn’t bode

Cos the very best you’ll get from them

Is fibre… to the… node

😦

Or this one courtesy Joy

What about this beauty, and imagine how much graffiti could be sprayed over one of these?

Fine specimens aren’t they?
