While the east coast has much VRE
In the west their completely free
Tho' some think they're roaches
needing zero approaches
We all support search and destroy-ee

however remember.....

An outbreak of limerickitis
In Melbourne is bound to excite us
But beware dear friend not to offend
So it can not come back to bite us!

So come and join us for a wonderful evening of food, wine, laughter and one or two other surprises.
