You only need shanks’ pony it’s the perfect marriage
Of ingenious invention and convenience, did I mention?
The congenial extention to Light Rail!
Where charming Belcommoners
And struggling Tuggeranomerers
Rub shoulders with the gentry, diplomatic, Parliamentary
The best in Weston Creek and Woden will be proud to say they rode in
This splendid installation, the wonder of our Nation!
