This poem was written for no other reason, than it’s my birthday, so I can… And seeing as how we are now subjected to the long, winter break, and politically it’s that time when politicians play the junket game, heading off to the warmer climes of the northern hemisphere summer, or just playing hide and seek, with their electorates and constituents! 😯
So to fill the gap for those alleged reporters of news, who regularly neglect their duty to their readers/listeners/viewers, by beating up “nothing” stories, or ignoring the stories that don’t suit their agendas (Like Hockey telling the truth about “No budget emergency”, to the Kiwis… WTF?), I thought I would go for something completely different, and try a “Look over here” moment 😯
What a bloody mess we’re in!
What a bloody mess we’re in
After ten months of these fools
Cos we listened to the right wing spin
From Murdoch’s bunch of tools
And now our country’s in the bin
Our democracy’s been hit
Cos of Abbott’s unoriginal sin
Of speaking nought but shit
😯
He lied and cheated, that is clear
To gain the highest job
With Policies dribbling from his rear
He proved he’s just a knob
He talks of help, but he works on fear
As crap flows from his gob
He says he’ll save money, but he’s really dear
Just another trough snouting slob
😛
He says he’s everybody’s friend
On that you can rely
But “the truth” is something that he’ll bend
Cos he’s partial to a lie
To hide the services that he’ll rend
He’ll claim a falling sky
And the multitudes that, to the dole, he’ll send
Would like to black his eye
😉
He’s a right wing ideologue, that’s plain to see
And nothing could be truer,
Than he corrupted the leaning of the LNP
And moved them right, to the sewer
With support from that bastard Murdochracy
Whose mania has no cure
Who’s aligned them to the Tea party
His own wealth to secure
😯
The treasurers judgement’s really poor
He’s tried to screw us all
So on his budget we’ve closed the door
Cos he’s really dropped the ball
While the economy goes right through the floor
His mob won’t stop the fall
Cos he’s sold his soul! He’s a corporate whore
Who’s full of lies and gall
😈
For years he cried “Budget Emergency”
But to Kiwi’s he tells the truth
There is no damned emergency
And for that there’s lots of proof
So the lies from this bloody LNP
Were definitely uncouth
And exposed as pure ideology
By the rabid Hockey… goof
😡
And Morrison of sovereign borders fame
Is such a raving knob
A psyche exam would end his game
Prove he’s not right for the job
And “megalomaniac”, is his name
Of that there’s little doubt
But megalomania, to the LNP’s shame,
Is what they’re all about
😈
So while Peta Credlin runs the show
Anointing Hockey next in line
The Abbott basks in the medias glow
Thinking everything is fine
But even news poll seems to know
He’s running out of time
But Murdoch just wont let it go
Cos Abbott’s, Murdoch’s… slime
😯
So for now we’re stuck with the LNP
And all their right wing spin,
And their broken promises, and bad policy
That’s dumped us in the bin
They’ve damaged our democracy
And our patience is wearing thin
And thanks to Abbott and his LNP
What a bloody mess we’re in?
😡

Lovely, Truthie. My bestest bit, although it was a close-run thing, is

Hi TruthSeeker, Yes its me ,Hefina, we are certainly in a mess , you covered everything there, It’s been a while since i have been in touch with you here , but hope to come and visit you more often now , 🙂 I haven’t been on IA, either for a long time , The reason being i just can’t get on, i have tried and tried to sign in on my Password , and every time it rejects it so i gave up.
Don’t think one moment i haven’t thought about you all i have.
I have also been wondering what Corn Legend is up to , i do tick their boxes as a guest.
David D, should have left it as it was , 🙂
since i have been absent from here and IA, i do write my comments on the Guardian every day. and on Face book. that keeps me busy,
$ weeks ago i had an op to my nose , and skin grafts for skin cancers , my face was a mess.
I had to go around the place with muffs on my nose to hold the graft in place, i recovered well, but this tuesday i go again to the hospital to have another slice taken off my nose but no muffs this time,
well TruthSeeker give my regards to all and to C/L . I am trying to get connected to IA one of these days , take care and keep writing those poems .
Dont worry im still fighting Tony Abbott.

Mel has a similar issue with IA, and hasn’t commented there since DD changed the format 😦 although like you, she still reads the articles and up-votes comments of others as a guest 😀
CL is on extended holidays somewhere in the northern hemisphere, while his new place up here in QLD is getting built. 😉
I am also commenting at The Guardian, although I haven’t noticed you there, What name do you use?
I’m sorry to hear about your skin cancer scares, and hope all goes well for tomorrow and with your recovery. 🙂
We’ll be thinking of you, and sending lots of positive thoughts and vibes your way 🙂 , so please let us know how you get on.
Cheers 😀
