"Buy us a package of chips"

Spindle-shanked colossus of the highway
Why aren't you going my way?
Why have you turned your back on the north
And raised your arm in fascist-fashion salute,
Making me check for moustache?.
Or did your northern search
Disclose some horror
That we shouldn't see?.
Is your raised arm
To ensure no harm
Will come to me? You led.
We follow,
We want our package of chips!
Your face said 'come and buy in Cairns'
Yet now we're here you seem to say
'Go back! You have come the wrong way!.
