𝐇𝐢𝐭  𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝  𝐉𝐚𝐜!

She’s fallen — farewell Kiwi sister.

Goodbye, have her faithful fans kissed her.

She’d bit off far more

Than her impressive jaw

Could chew — so adieu communista.

No longer will Paddles in puddles
Be paddling. No more Paddles’ cuddles,
For Paddles, in heavenly puddles
Now paddles, and cherubs he cuddles.

𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐑𝐈𝐏

Paddles, alas is no more,
And that is his hide on the floor.
The mouser and ratter
Is now somewhat flatter.
Road safety, cats shouldn’t ignore.

Your PM’s Jacinda Ardern?
You’re kidding! Man can’t you discern
Behind that facade,
A Red! — It’s not hard!
(But Kiwis — they are slow to learn).
