From zealot to ziggurat, that zeitgeist, that zoetrope, is Zealandia, son, wear it on your lapel for your mother's sake. Zugzwang ran the zoo, and the zoo was an ark for Zealandia and all who thrived there, at the end of the alphabet, knowing they were lucky last, possessing the Anzac spirit and abundant lemon zest. Even zambucks carrying a concussed player zonked from the paddock, zigzagged to the ambulance. Those in Zephyrs and Zodiacs bound down State Highway One, heading home on a metal throne with rubber tyres, knew they sat at the zenith. Their zipped-up zippers shone, their ziffs purred with satisfaction, Zespri was their favourite sorbet. Zowie! they went, zooming along, catch the zeds from those over there. We're zippy, but they are just zizz, just z-listers in zombie droves. Thataway, zanies chill, out of zone, singing zip-a-dee-aye, zip-a-dee-eh, zip-a-dee-doo-dah day, to zydeco. They make zippo or zilch gestures, they launch zingers from a phone, each a zillionaire living on pure air, till zapped by the self-same bug-zapper that one day will zap Zealandia back to zero.
