The Love Song of Burke and Wills
#4
Yes, well I didn't want to be rude and insult a national hero or something, but I thought the lines

"God said
I am in your head
cut it off
cut it out
come to me"

were somewhat of an admonition to the rest of the party regarding Burke, Burke being the "head" of the party. But yes, I am certain I am missing the allegorical aspects due to a lack in the knowledge of the specifics. For me this was an inside joke and I am on the outside. However as jokes lose their humor with the need to be explained, I'll forgo asking for one Smile However, as you brought it up, it seems Mr. Burke and Capt Bligh had a fair amount in common.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
