Don't do dosh (Herald Sun 05.07.06)

Don’t do dosh on road-cross dash
rogue traders jailed
fans in a state of excitement
hip-hop off to jail
cellmate accused in lover’s death
more sex an older wives’ tale?
dead lucky by any other name tag
if you spray, you pay
I’m glad I was caught
I wanted to flee
‘bulldoze them all’
