The Treat Poem

My Ode to Treat!

Treat Café

A Poem by Lincoln George Brown

O Treat Café, what a wonderful place of employment
Standing by the window making coffees is endless enjoyment
Chatting with those Toorak mums
I pretty sure they have lipoed bums
I shall miss Treat Café

Sammy and Shanky rule the kitchen
The endless food is always bitchin’
Our muffins suck
Who gives a fuck?
God Bless Treat Café

Mattman stole fifties from the till
Chicken toasties, he’d had his fill
Did Cam get fired for being lazy?
The details are a little hazy….
Eat at Treat Café

Hickey loves a competition jug
Old women drink their coffee in a mug
Laskie jokes, Mc Cormack smokes
At Treat café there’s so many awesome blokes
We love Treat Café

Ball, the leader rules with an Iron fist
Well sometimes, just not when he’s really pissed
Piercey is happiest when he bakes
I just wish the flies would get off his cakes
Good Luck Treat Café

Feldy has a broken foot and is a wussy
He got it while he was chasing pussy
Victor gets bigger by the day
I’m sure some are upset he isn’t gay
O wonderful Treat Café

Bella helped Jess get the sack
I’d laugh if she made out with Jack
Ben is dating little nettlefold
She’s not exactly what you’d call old
Goodbye Treat Café

Kirsties ironing is just first rate
Lexi Cottee is rarely late
Im sad that my time has come
Just my favourite thing before I’m done
May the tip jar be always Frothing!

the infinite benefits of skyscanner.net

For the modern traveller in 2009, no website is more helpful for transport than skyscanner.net. This site scans every discount airline on the route you want and gets some killer prices, I just got something like eight flights for under 600AUD. Chew Beauty. Get in early I say.... Does take the fun out of travelling a bit, but if you want to avoid the arse raping handed out by European train prices then get on board!

overseas ambitions

After having the Parker brothers in for lunch at treat cafe a few days ago, it really dawned on me how excited I am to go overseas again to adventure and travel. Realistically, I may just fall back into my old ways and become a 'slackpacker' again and get drunk and party, but I shall be optimistic at this point and believe that this next trip shall be cultural. What possible benefit you as the reader may gain from my worldly insights is yet to be determined but I shall think about that over the next few days.

Back to the Parker Brothers, these boys really know how to clock adventure on expert, they always have their passports in their back pocket and four different currencies under their funky hats. They ride bikes from the early eighties when Tom Selleck was cool and they still live at home to save money to go look at the world. They inspire me with their chat and are always talking of new ways to get away. Their latest idea is to get sponsorship from Nokia to jet off. Good Luck Lads!
