English translation of the title: Treatise on Venting in Amateur Theatres

English translation of first line: Nothing will change it, nothing root it out:
-
The poem satirizes Polish Australian amateur theatre, poking fun at participants' delusions of grandeur. It lists the Australian towns toured by amateur theatre groups, including Adelaide, Canberra, Cooma and Wollongong, making them sound comically like obscure Polish placenames: 'Edlajd', 'Kambera', 'Kuma' and 'Łulągąg'.
