Politicians

Though Queensland is the greatest state

It’s never without drama.

Our politicians are quite weird –

There was Joh, and now there’s Palmer.

 

Pauline Hanson once caused a stir –

A star that rose and fell;

Once again seems resurrected,

Only time alone will tell.

 

We mortals who just simply vote

Cannot believe our eyes,

When we see a crop of pollies

Always wanting to surprise.

 

They are trying to impress us,

Believing they are superhuman,

Rounding up those wicked bikies –

Is their leader such a new man?

 

Sand mining’s got the go-ahead,

Sure to cause much grief,

And tons of dredging have been dumped

So near the Barrier Reef.

 

I fear the status quo remains

There’s always something up,

The only thing of which we’re sure,

Is that we’ve been sold a PUP.
