Wreck of the Abbott

Australian Prime Minister, Julie Bishop, Leadership spill, poem, poetry, Tony Abbott

(Trying my hand at prophesy)

She struck Bishop Reef and is lost.
Her crew, to the cruel sea were tossed.
It’s rumoured her skipper
Washed up like a kipper;
Pride comes at a terrible cost.

Abbott approval plummets, Abbott polling disaster, Australian Prime Minister, limerick, poem, poetry, Tony Abbott

Old Tony (The Barnacle) Abbott,
He clings to the hull out of habit.
If he had some bottle
He’d grab that damned throttle
And move it from tortoise to rabbit.

But barnacled bottoms impede,
By drag, both direction and speed.
A ship tends to slow
When it’s rough down below;
It’s smoothness that boat bottoms need.

So speed, it would further improve
Were they to old Tony remove.
Some times to up knots
You must jettison clots.
Most people I think would approve.

Abbott says that old Vlad he’ll confront.
At G20 he says he’ll shirt-front
Him – but won’t throw a punch;
They’ll shake hands then have lunch,
Though each thinks that the other’s a runt.

18c

Australian Prime Minister, poem, poetry, section 18c, Tony Abbott

Abbott said he’d repeal 18c
But minorities didn’t agree.
Loss of votes Abbott feared
Plus religion quite weird,
Abbott lied, now our speech isn’t free.

Abbott backs down on repeal of section 18c

Blinker the Winkers!

limerick, poem, poetry, Prime Minister winks, Tony Abbott

All this winking should surely be banned;
Sex line grannies – the cream of the land,
Shouldn’t suffer such winkers –
Conservative stinkers!
Enough! draw a line in the sand!
