Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Like knights of old in a brutal age,
Ned Kelly armoured against firearms,
unrepentant under the Australian sun,

full metal jackets defending their aim,
programmed for fun but ready for war,
iconic heroes in new-fangled gear,
they live by the gun and die by it too.
