Anzac DAY
Good morning listeners this is honest dave and this is a morning rant. Ok lets talk about anzac day. Potlitical commentators have been typing stories all week long about anzac day. They do not understand -Its anzac DAY. A Day. 24hrs. Its not anzac week. Its Anzac day…Really.
Hey press people - You think all our war veterans wanted to read about the war every morning at the rsa home with their tea and toast and bibs and bed pans. No they did not. It was Monday people, monday. Hey editor person…since when should a press story repeat on itself like a new idea front cover with Bernice Mene or return to the same tired story like a cat to vomit. Yes I know Lord of the Rings , return of the king, that’s a story that never stoppped too…..on and on and on….. it had tedious cinematic pretend endings with soft porn hobbit smiles on and on on-
Finish it peter I screamed to myself in interior monologue befitting of a movie theatre…. ….but you the free press don’t have to go there…! Anzac day is over… leave it alone…
. Sure,
On April 25, our freedom is celebrated by remembering those who bore the ultimate sacrifi ce - lest we forget, lest we forget and we didn’t forget.
On MONDAY hello… on MONDAY our veterans marched at dawn, a cold dawn, they polished their medals, strapped a false leg to a stump maybe and allowed themselves the yearly haunting of their past in honour of their fallen comrades with a guy beating a snare coming up the rear …just incase they get lost in the dark.. ……they heard the lone trumpet play a rich melody of grief and glory and their adams apples jerked up and down like those pained memories from somewhere subconscious, somewhere full of mud in their head that smells like gallipoli itself . They march each anzac day to remember and then have a quiet drink and then they wish…….. to not remember ….
I do not blame them. Bob geldof hated Mondays too. And he wasnt even a soldier.
Lest we forget on the 25th, sure, but for the 26th of April and the 27th of April and the 28th of april and the 29th of April and the 30th of april and the 31st of april and the 32 of april and for the rest of the year….even perhaps as long as a Te Wananga of Aotearoa study break… the motto should read: ‘best we forget’ . No NZ war vet should be continually hammered by recollections of the ill of war triggered by psycological abuse of reading column after column, a nuremburg of columns, of anzac material, day after day, in a newspaper with words signifying nothing.
Case in point: Do we care what a leader of a country eats at a cook out?
So john Howard eats sausages. He’s been found not to be a vegeterian by having a few sausages, a few casual ‘bangers’ at a bar b cue with his australian soldiers instead of attending the NZ anzac do. So John Howard eats sausage. probably a bit of prime sausage befitting a prime minister, but still a sausage. Never have so many sausages, eaten by so few been reported by so many. So at last – we now know for sure, with australian soldiers as our witness, that JOHn howard is not a card carrying
vegetarian. Should this be news listeners? ex service men at the local rsa would grit their teeth in anger, if they had teeth, with no sausages on the menu incidentally, reading the paper over their weet bix with hot milk., if they still have eyes to read. Its psychological abuse.
So Prince Charles heard a speech where the british army were critiscised. Is this a revelation? Do I hear the earth shatter? Is this something new like Brian tamaki’s silver jacket?? …. Well I guess that’s a trick question.. that jacket does look pretty new. But an incompetant british general..that’s not news.
Anzac day is uno day of the year. It’s a oncer. Ka pai? A one morning stand. Lest we forget. \ And don’t forget that Eric Clapton and the Bee Gees will be on big screen prior to the SHIHAD May music month shin dig in aotea square. Bring your sleeping bags…
You’ve been listening to honest daves morning rant on the generator…
