Global Chordie LOL And Chatter

On a cold Tuesday winter night here in NZ, I decided to write a poem about Chordie.

                Global  Chordie  LOL And Chatter

I want to share my point of view on our Chordie crew.
Writing  this from here in the land of New Zealand  lush green and skies so blue,
Yes and in some places we have snow that comes through.
Down here the sheep outnumber us, it’s true
Despite the odd earthquake we have icing on our cakes.
All us Māori and Pakeha and others are Kiwis at heart, with a grin on our face,
With a "she’ll be right" vibe that fills up the  Kiwi  space.

Crossing international  horizons, our culture might waver,
While sipping on coffee and savouring flavour,
Yet deep down inside, we all quite agree,
That music is for you and me,
Though born from different nationalities, we share harmony.

From the Land of the long white cloud  beaches to mountains, we cherish our bliss,
Offering latitude; it’s hard to miss!
So here’s to the laughter that bonds every mate.
In this quirky old world, let’s celebrate fate!
By calling everyone mate!
Just like Chordie’s buzzing chatter, written natter.
On this site we  all write in our homegrown tongues with twist and twine.
We share our tales from distant walks,
Yet in laughter we can all align on this  thing called online.

A Brit will mention “crisps,” you see,
While Yanks and Kiwis just shout “chips!”
The Aussie grins with “no worries, mate,”
People from other countries wonder what we are all about,
As we trade our little quips.

In lands where zebras roam the plains,
And kangaroos take flight,
We sip our tea and raise a toast,
In languages that shine a light.

But oh! The quirks when meanings shift
A joke can fall so flat!
When someone says “I’m full of beans,”
They don’t mean what they chat!

Yet through these jests and bumbles bold,
Our hearts weave close as one
For in this place of banter free,
Connection's just begun.

So here’s to Chordie’s splendid crew,
With every glance and pun,
We learn that though we're worlds apart,
In laughter, we are spun!
Music is our fun!
Together in music we are one!
