Political Satire Collection
I read the news today, ha! ha!
Just had to have my say, ha! ha!
My nose is in the honey jar
I write for free cigars.
POLITICAL PERCEPTIONS
To paint a perception
Of probable deception
Is to engineer lies
As the truth in disguise
Take some recognised facts
Have them smothered by Acts
See regulations running riot
Then feeding off us buying it.
Now learn here the trade
How politicians are made
Their lawyers under foot
And picking up the loot
See "positioning" power
How Universities flower
The qualifications regime
A bureaucrats dream.
See perpetual motion
In public service promotion
Then tango on the quango
In a game where no heads roll
See golden handshakes
Apply the jaw brakes
Welfarians wake Thursday
Rastafarians doomsday
The Swiss buy Fonterra
And some top seafarers
The Aussies our Banks
(Remote control cranks)
Now getting their hands on
Our own model airline
A failed privatisation
For the sophist liquidation.
Float our only stock exchange
Bear and bull given free range
Another milking system windfall
A free for all before the pitfall
FIELDAYS IN THE BEEHIVE
Every day is payday
At the lawyer's fieldays:
There's horses for courses
And camel producers,
Rot wielding soothsayers
And pot smoking doomsayers.
As brownie point collectors
And political correctors
You can hunt with the beagles
And grunt with the trough boys.
See sucking at the tit
In the civil servants camp,
Ploughing through the money
Their fencers round the honey.
For trips abroad Lewin sky
And pining over Trotsky
Ask the lady at the top
All about our GE crop.
LIBERALISATION
Fred Flintstone had a kid called Pebbles;
Speech impediment, rhymes with rebels
Gnaws on bones hidden in cupboards
A mason's mate's hide; carries some baggage
Face the day, Croesus rich and white
Mined treasury and usury day and night
How to tell a con and a railway worker
What was a Bank and what are perks for?
Hang the Jolly Roger up
Skull and crossbones for the pup
Have a cup'o tea on me
With fish'n chips the inner three.
