The Former Rose Of Koroit Has Known A Better Day

Rating: 0.5


The former Rose of Koroit has known a better day
With dark brown hair dye she cloaks her natural gray
With three teenage children two girls and a boy
Though no longer of Koroit Town the pride and the joy
Her husband like her Koroit born and raised and in Koroit went to school
He drives to work every weekday to nearby Warrnambool
Like most Koroitians they love Koroit and will live there till they die
To say most Koroitians love Koroit would not be telling a lie
Twenty years ago the Town beauty but beauty does not last
The former rose of Koroit her better days in the past
Now in her mid forties the years on her beginning to tell
Yet for one well past her prime she does look rather well
She was the Rose of Koroit two decades ago
But like it is to everyone time has become her foe.
