CANBERRA CAN'T BEER

I seldom have a drink, although I've propped a few barstools around Canberra in my time. Apologies for any past indiscretions and yes I do know the cells at the city watch house from many years ago.. After 50 years I must have annoyed a few. I can only imagine today 250 men being arrested for drunkenness though. I didn't realise this was a poem when I started reading it... I like it.
