John Howard will stay on for yet another term /

and another

/and another

John, John, wake up!

It’s time for your morning cup of tea.

You know that all the residence here at the ‘Bennelong old age community Centre’ have to get up early.

Here … let me help you with that tie John. The government Schaefer’s already here to take you off to work.

Now here’s your walking stroller.

You have a good day John and try not to give those young fellows too much grief.
