Poems of the Week

Boobicon

by Eddie Aderne

“Year 12 students from at least eight schools in Queensland were taught the wrong topic for their final history exams …
Students were meant to study Julius Caesar, but the affected pupils instead learned about his nephew Augustus,
according to the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority.”
The Guardian

Caesar was switched on the Queensland Curriculum,
Something he’d surely have thought quite ridiculum.
This lot, Authorities? He’d soon demote ’em.
Here was a Caesar! Accept no nepotem!
