Whangarei

Land of mugginess and rainbows
Sidewalks steaming after rain
Cars, Christians, cops and coffees that come slow
Here country girls, heavily made up, shop at Shanton and Cotton On before a night out in town
And fitness fanatics jog up Parihaka or around The Basin Loop.

Home of yummy Korean food, big box retailing and houses painted with flowers
Criss-crossed by waterways with a scum on top
Run-off or rural trickle down perhaps
Who would've thought I would call you home
