“Insiders” At It Again!

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

We’re told by press ‘Insiders’
From all the news providers
That the Labor brand’s been trashed.
Their electoral hopes are dashed.
That’s what all the papers say.
Can it really be that way?
Has our banking system failed?
Our economy been de-railed?
Don’t they know we’re overjoyed
So few of us are unemployed?
Abbott killed the ETS
Helped by Greens not saying yes.
And yet this so-called ‘last straw’
Made Rudd loathed for ever more!
Now he’s out and Gillard’s in
Media’s mourning ‘poor’ Kevin.
This is the land ‘downunder’
So is it any wonder
That our world seems upside down?
Here a government renowned
For strong decisive action
Just can’t get any traction
As the media turn truth about.

Perhaps it’s time to turn ‘Insiders’ out!

Reflections Of Alexander Downer

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

Mirror, mirror, here on the wall,
Who is the finest of us all?
Kevin Rudd is really awful!
Look, he claims it is unlawful
To tell our media the truth.
Think!   When you’re in the polling booth
Do you want to elect a man
Who does the things that this guy can?
Someone who will travel abroad
Abetting bribery and fraud?
Yet that is how he describes me!
That contract with AWB
Was made clandestinely by him!
When hopes of leadership were slim,
He thought the diplomatic corps
Would appreciate him much more
If he could get Sadaam Hussein
To buy the best Australian grain.
Yes, outrageous!  Proof of it all –
He’s been made sick by his own gall!

Mirror, mirror on the wall,  you are seeing,
Aren’t you,  a f–king awful human being!

COMMENTS:

Valerie,     13/11/10,     Patricia WA Love the verse here and on other blogs. You are particularly good at it. Any other relevant pieces you may want to share?

nasking,     13/11/10,   I agree Valerie…Patricia WA is brill at puttin’ the apt verse out.

Feral Skeleton,     13/11/10,       PatriciaWA, Your poetry is awesome (to use a descriptor from the younger generations)! Using humour to deflate the pretensions of the pompous buffoons in the Coalition is one of the prongs of the pitchfork that we have to deploy, constantly, to attack them.

Ad Astra,      13/11/10,     I liked this poem too.

Larvatus Prodeo Asked Bloggers Why John Howard aka Dracula Was Absent From The Campaign

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

Do not look here for Dracula
He will not come by day again.
He’s anointed our new ruler
Whom he knows well will give us pain.

Abbott, his political love child,
He’s announced as his final choice,
Despite DNA claims once filed
By a certain Barnaby Joyce

His heir, now known as Action Man,
Had drunk deep of Dracula’s blood
For strength to carry out the plan
For foul revenge on Labor’s Rudd.

But it seems some female red head,
Not the one who owns a fish shop,
Has made Rudd sick.  He’s ill in bed.
No!  T’was wrought by Bronwyn Bishop!

Yes,  Action Man’s spiritual ‘mother’
Had ‘daughter’ Julie – ‘Catwoman’ –
Stare Rudd down to save her brother!
Ghastly trio!    Hardly human!

Stop this silly speculation!
This country is not Roumania!
We live in a modern nation.
Here there is no Trans…..Syl…va…nia… Oh, Help!    Dear God!

Atheist Gillard cannot save us!
We need a crucifix and bell!
Aah!   Here’s an Abbott and two Bishops
And with his stake, dear Cardinal Pell.

 

COMMENTS

Nasking,     28/02/10,      Patricia WA, LOL. Well done

Wilful,        13/11/10. Feral S says: That was good, Patricia WA

Mindy,        13/11/10. Please don’t say that Patricia WA. I have relatives in Sylvania.

Why Not Talk of Alexander?

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

These tales of Alexander
The ALP should seize,
Take him to court for slander
With other lies like these.
Show that for filthy rumors
There’s none that can compare
With the spiteful bitchy humor
He delivers with a sneer.

Let’s tell how Alexander
Whitewashed AWB
For paying out backhanders
To join their treachery.
So while our soldier heroes
Were fighting in that war
Who were in fact their real foes?
Downer and Co. for sure!

Who showed up Alexander
As traitor that he was?
Rudd, man of repute grander
Than most have had in Oz.
But now he’s ill and troubled,
Enemies all about.
Still he’s not yet been that humbled
He won’t call Downer out.

So watch it Alexander!
Kicking a man who’s down
May to your own side pander,
But most in Oz will frown.
So don’t start counting chickens
You smart arse, can’t you see –
Labor’s spirit lifts and quickens
As Rudd returns to fight with them their common enemy!

Ad Astra,   November 13. 2010,  Patricawa,  Them’s fighting words – good on you.

My Question to Gary Gray About How The West Was Lost

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

What would It really have cost
For shareholders to forgo
Some profit, feel some small loss,
That less fortunate might know
More comfort in later years?
What gain to you, little man,
Playing double agent here,
Betraying trust and Rudd’s plan,
Honest, open and sincere?
Do mining magnates matter
More than ALP’s dear cause,
Why then the need to shatter
Our last hope, feed profit’s jaws?

Julia, Hard Head, But Not Heart Dead.

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

A party political hard head
Is not necessarily heart dead,
As Julia today has clearly shown,
Squashing rumors from sources unknown.
She’s forthright, strong and no fibber,
Stand-out model for any Libber.
Trace her career; and right from the start
You can see that she’s no bleeding heart.
But does it take that much awareness
To know she’s a champion of fairness?
Questions about why she’s not married
Have been ever so lightly parried.
Reminds one of another red head
Who resolutely refused to wed.
You know, that ‘weak and feeble woman’
With ‘heart and stomach of’….a…human!

Let’s all hope that soon will come the day
To this nation their PM will say,
“In this Lodge, where ‘home’ was meant to be,
Here’s my heart for you, who’ve chosen me.”

Re-Actionary Man’s Plan

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

For Australians worried about rabies,
Caused they think by too much immigration,
Abbott says the answer is more babies,
Born in Oz to boost our population.

Businessmen should not fret they are not skilled.
That’s solved with a clever innovation,
About which he and Margie are both thrilled –
Very Early Childhood Education!

This is no clever ploy to get more votes.
It will end waste, train boys for vocations,
Provide the manpower to stop those boats!
That’s Abbott’s plan – he’ll end transportation!

Action Man Or Poster Boy?

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

Tony says it’s ‘cos she’s a girl
The voters prefer Julia.
Another insult he can hurl,
Though from him it is peculiar.
Is she exploiting ‘feminine’
With batting eyelids, female curves?
Who’s playing archetype ‘masculine’
Flexing muscles for all to perve?
Who’s running to the podium,
Showing off his manly splendor,
Aggressive,  rousing odium?
Isn’t he exploiting gender?

Thanks for the Memory, Pauline!

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

.

‘Hanson is as Hanson does’
Do you recall who Hanson was?
Red head, leader of One Nation,
And how her ‘assassination’
Was wrought by Abbott’s dirty tricks,
Acting for ‘Honest Politics!’
How his career was furthered,
She imprisoned, not quite ‘murdered.’

Now he could be our next PM.
But surely seeing her again
Reminds us how on air he lied,
And how when challenged he replied,
‘Look, lying on the ABC
Cannot be called dishonesty.
It would have been quite different,
If I had lied in Parliament!’

Since those days his capacity
For cunning and mendacity
Has oft been proven loud and clear.
Yet still now when we daily hear
The Abbott claim that others lie,
Blind to the mote in his own eye,
Some smile as if it were a game
Not cause for his or national shame.

PJK was so young and handsome!

Posted on March 11, 2011 by patriciawa

Just back from dinner
With Bill Shorten.
Made me regret
My days of courtin’
Were long gone.
Whereupon
I thought about
Old PJK!
I have to say
That in my day
He was okay.
He loved Anita.
No one sweeter
About his love.
That I do recall
About young Paul
Who fought back
In 1993
To give us all
Three more years
Of sanity.

Of course Julia
Is different.
And Kevin was peculiar.
Bill (her knight errant?)
In defeating him
Has himself diminished.
But he’s not finished.
Not at all.
Like young Paul
He’ll have his day.
Meanwhile let’s pray
For Labor’s
Golden lads
And lassies
Who still lust
For power.
Grant them and us
Their hour,
Before, like PJK,
They come to dust.
