There was an old hero called Ajax
who certainly lived life to the max
His fighting was mythic
His muscles terrythic
From the years he'd spent building haystacks.


Now they're gunning for poor old Brock

(Okey-dokey, you've rumbled me, Tickle!

Plus, it was my last day in Rio and it helped me get to Argentina, my next stop for a week.
That is truly my "motherland" - mum born in Resistencia - and I'm paying for the flight home!
