Mono Meanderings

To the tune of The Mountains of Mourne

We've a grand picture theatre, the roof shows the stars
Like the Civic in Auckland but no softdrink bars
And a palm-lounge is also a feature of ours
Whilst we even display a few tropical flowers;
The seats are made up of best coconut wood
If only they'd pad them they sure would he good;
It's really quite cosy—a roof's all we lack
So we often get trickles of rain down our back.
