Poem Title:
Poem
Society is rife with statements of misinformation, fallacy and contradiction To say otherwise would be to argue that our settlement was a pleasant eviction If you are to believe what is in the following first lines Then perhaps you are gullible enough to believe the proceeding lines Our new industrial relations laws are reasonable and fair A Buddhist monk has a full head of hair The United States of America is rational and just If you want curly hair just eat your crust The Queen is a popular and influential head of state Quite often at prisons they leave open the front gate The Good and Services Tax won’t complicate life It is legal and admirable to have more than one wife We have an obligation to follow America and Great Britain to war You will get piles sitting on a cold concrete floor Ladies and gentlemen the honourable Mr Howard A bully is not a coward There are Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq No one has ever died after being bitten by a shark The brightness of light in the total dark A grassless, treeless, concrete park Religion is not dogmatic Working for the man is not problematic Education will be free and available to all Always a baby walks first then learns to crawl A midget or dwarf is extremely tall I tried marijuana but did not inhale The Japanese have no interest in hunting whale Indigenous people are being treated better Not one convict has ever been an Australian settler Julia Gillard can’t be Prime Minister as she hasn’t had a child An Australian summer is rather mild Climate change is a beaten up issue Blow your nose with sandpaper rather than a tissue Our troops will be home soon Winter begins in April not June By the year 2000 we would have landed at least a second time on the moon Four o’clock is the new noon The person at the head of the queue will be served next Shane Warne doesn’t know how to text All we need is a few weeks of solid rain If you break a bone you’ll feel no pain Anyone in society has a fair and fighting chance to win Look up and you can see a flightless flying penguin Bush does not influence Howard a decision is his own Fast Food outlets only use foods that are organically grown The War in Iraq is not about oil Heating water won’t cause it to boil It could not have be handled any better concerning David Hicks Magic is real it contains no illusions or tricks The aim of this verse was to have a laugh and be reflective I hope it puts the things people say into perspective
