Flo and Snowy; Digging a deeper Hole

 

‘Florence’ the 2,400 tonne tunnel boring machine on the Snowy Hydro 2.2 expansion project
Flo and Snowy; Digging a deeper Hole
Snowy worried that Flo was snoring and still fast asleep,
She hadn’t done a dammed thing in over 12 long weeks,
And as she lay embedded, he began to worry and freak,
She was costing him a fortune and his budget looked quite bleak.
He promised the Prime Minister, that Flo would get to work,
And Albo’s political headaches would soon cease to hurt,
As Flo would reach her energy targets and help save the Earth,
And the cost of the project, acclaimed for all it’s costly worth.
But now the hawks were hovering, with two men hurt at work,
And a damaging audit report, into Snowy management that hurt,
Because a large back-hander was said, to move a lot of dirt,
That left Snowy facing another bill, that nearly cost his shirt.
Now the end of this we hope it should be soon,
Snowy reckons Flo will wake by November afternoon,
But her handlers say she’s hard to wake as she’s locked in a tunnel room,
And won’t be of use to anyone until February’s full moon!
From this little rhyme we may define, that something here’ s not right,
As the time and cost of this project, is definitely out of sight,
So will we ever know who’s running this show and did they possibly know,
It would grow from $2 to $40 billion, and still, there’s nothing to show!
Watto!
