Self praise is no recommendation!
This poem was started as a result of watching Abbott’s presser, where he told us what a good job him and his government (Nyahahahahah 😆 😆 ) are doing… WTF? 😯
And there we were thinking, “they are an incompetent Mob of Mendacious miscreants” or words to that effect 😉
So, how could we get it so wrong? 😯
How could he be so misunderstood? ❓
Well, we didn’t get it wrong, and he wasn’t misunderstood, like always, his presser was nothing but a lie and spin-fest, to try and con the people… yet again… into believing his BS. 😈
Then last night I saw the mincing poodle, referring to himself as “A good minister”… And again… WTF? 😯
So it looks a lot like the rest of the LNP have also been taking self aggrandisement lessons, instead of the lesson they really do need to learn;
Self praise is no recommendation!
Self praise is no recommendation
I yelled at the TV
As I watched the right wing Abbott
Talking up his LNP
Like before he was elected
When he said he knew it all
About running an economy better
Than Labors “wrecking ball”
😉
Saying interest rates and taxes
Are always lower, under Libs
But the one thing that we know for sure
Is that Abbott tells big fibs
And to sing his party’s praises
He would talk our country down
So with lies and stupid slogans
Phony Abbott went to town
😈
To reinforce these right wing myths
They used old Murdoch’s papers
To spread their lies and right wing spin
And ignore their crooked capers
He went out to destroy careers
To further his own cause
Assassinating friend and foe
Without regret or pause
👿
They cried “Budget emergency”
As Hockey took the lead
Claiming if they don’t fix “Labors mess”
Our country’s going to bleed
With his shonky take on numbers
And his count to “Eleventy”
He proved he wasn’t capable to
Run our economy
But still the Media pressed ahead
To realise Murdoch’s ambition
Of running our great country through…
The nut-job coalition
And here we are 15 months down
The Abbott’s road to hell
And yet his nasty first budget
The Hockey still can’t sell
😯
And stuff-up after stuff-up
Is the story of these knobs
Proving no one in the LNP
Is fit to do their jobs
But as the year comes to an end
The Abbott fronts the press
To play his game of lies and spin
Talking down his party’s mess
😉
He praised his party’s courage
And he praised his party’s guts
And he said they’ve had a productive year
Which proves the Abbott’s nuts
He bragged about how he repealed
That toxic carbon tax
Ignoring world wide condemnation
And scientific facts
🙄
He claimed that every household
Would be so much better off
To the tune of five hundred and fifty bucks
Excuse me while I scoff
He said they had good policy
That was worthy of pursuing
While the people say they’re rubbish
And our country you are screwing
😡
He said they’re high achievers
And the job they’ve done is great
But the proof of Abbott’s pudding is
Most would rather eat the plate
With hand on heart he told us that
“The buck stops here with me”
But we all know consequences don’t apply
When you’re in the LNP
😛
His arrogance is astounding
And his hubris immense
He lives for ideology
Ignoring common sense
He has no social conscience
Cos it’s all about the money
He’s a laughingstock around the world
But for us it isn’t funny
😳
He claimed success at the G20
But it really was a farce
With the blunder from downunder
Talking shit… Straight from his arse
He whinged about the senate
Blocking policies that are bad…
The policies he’s sticking by;
Which shows he’s raving mad
😯
He’s a man of little substance
And a hypocrite supreme
And blowing his own trumpet
At the presser, was the theme
He suffers verbal diarrhoea
But mental constipation
And we need to make him understand
Self praise is no recommendation!
😛
Yes, yes, yes. You’re in fine fettle, Truthie.
A couple of very best, favouritest bits, especially:
He suffers verbal diarrhoea
But mental constipation
Would you like a suppository with that, Sir?
So, my merry little elves, let’s get spending, spending, spending and do our Santa proud.

The Xmas New Year period will see unsurpassed LNP shite spread on all by the MSM because there`ll be no counter in the HoR or Senate [remember last festive season when Murdoch took over completely?]
So we`ll need all Indies to get “their” message out there and remind those who are still gullible idiots that Abbott does suffer mental constipation and the cure is to VOTE it out.

Another Gem Thruthy,
I can’t wait for your Xmas message rather like Liz 2′ each year.
Our very own Action man is going to take a well earned holiday and with the news that Truss is looking poorly, you know that means that the Pumpkin Joyce could be acting PM. At which point Oz’s credibility will be the laughing stock of the world.
Or could acting leader Joyce not become acting PM or would that fall on the shoulders of Mesma the succession line is not too clear from where I sit, perhaps I should take a bex and lie down.
But look on the bright side no slogans for the period (I hope). May the force be with you.

I believe one of the best short critiques of our Minister for Education was provided by Miss Ella Fitzgerald fumfteen years ago when she sang.

Brute Utopia
Twisting and spinning their deceptive gyres;
so busy with their little webs;
The members do not hear the despised membership;
The social contract falls apart;
Democracy cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the land,
The corporate hounds let slip, and everywhere
The cries of the innocent are drowned
By the monstrous media.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity;
And the predator’s ferocious joy.
In an ecstasy of excess.
Surely some revelation is at hand?
Thatcher’s Second Coming ?
Or silly Rapacious Reagan?
Friedman?
Hayek at the very least.
The Second Coming!
Hardly are those words out
When a hideous image appears.
It’s not The New Jerusalem;
This wasteland of insatiable greed,
This bleak landscape of Consumer Land;
Where entitled Philistines rule in the people’s name.
Where Barons and Magnates of every kind;
bind all others in irredeemable debt.
These corrupt Servants of Mammon;
Who know the price of everything,
And the value of nothing.
Summon up their Beast.
This rough Beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Canberra to be reborn.
With a pig’s body and the head of a man;
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
It rolls its great thighs, and does its sums;
Puffs a fat cigar, self satisfied self server.
Dances a jig of unrestrained delight;
And pronounces our doom.
Has The Beast employed a J curve,
To shape a prosperous future?
Or used a Hockey stick,
To beat the people down?
While all about it wheel afrighted birds,
Their nests destroyed, all security gone;
Screaming to no avail.
The Beast is deaf.
The Beast’s Budget breaks open
Our fragile cracked democracy.
What has he released?
Spiderlings spill out; revealing Brute Utopia.
The Beast is but its midwife
And now bloated Corpocracy unfolds itself;
Many eyed, many limbed, black web spinner;
The insatiable predator that eats its young
That in the end consumes itself.
It strikes
Paralyzed democracy convulses
It gorges
The Common Wealth is no more.
The Brute Utopia triumphant
With apologies to Yates, Wilde et al
