Us and Them Close your mind, turn your back Australia is restored, on the right track ‘The Lucky Country’ smiles again With a Coalition win, over the hated them The betrayers and backbiters of the ALP Canberra went rancid, for all to see * What happened to ‘A Fair Go’? Or does not your hand extend to those Blown our way by circumstance Civil war, terror, hope of a second chance? An ‘X’ in the box for ‘Stop the Boats’ A shield to save us from the scrounger floats! * Respect the mandate, won fair and square Or go to hell, I don’t care The voters have spoken, loud and clear Your leftie-bleatings are not welcome here * Cancel the caring of the collective conscience Vote instead for Me, in abundance! In three years we shall see Just what a mess, that creed makes of the country * I’ll govern with grace, unlike your lot Who polluted the politic, with bile and rot * Your arrogance is beyond the pail I can’t wait to see you fail * You don’t have a right to lecture me The voters rejected your philosophy * Tell me one thing, for which you stand If you have a policy, ready to hand * Be in possession of the facts We’re ditching the unholy carbon tax We’ll restore pride to this great land And not get bogged down, in Syrian sand * You can’t hide on the international stage Just please don’t send our allies into a rage An international incident waiting to happen Is what I predict, when what’s needed is action * Enough of your carping, it’s time to govern By the cross of God and the star that’s southern The next three years belong to us To my fair dinkum mates in the Fourth Estate True Blue Aussies That’s right, hey mate? * God help us, or maybe not… We’re managed by a Mad Monk and a Bishop, are we not? No divine intervention can help us now Keep calm and carry on, but how, how, how? Elect a new leader, stay disciplined And display unity right to the end. overland.org.au/2010/11/heres-the-thing-about-political-poetry/?fb_action_ids=10151874964454254&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=timeline_og&action_object_map=%7B%2210151874964454254%22%3A423150091129599%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210151874964454254%22%3A%22og.likes%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D
