sharks are circling the Abbott camp
of him they've got an exit stamp
his time at the top of the Liberal Party tree
may be somewhat shaky

Malcolm is waiting in the wings
to start operating all the strings
for Abbott this will be no surprise
as a dissatisfied party room is on the rise

America
wake up
the country
is in despair
rid yourselves
of Obama
make it a quick affair
vote for good
representation
vote for the good
of the country's
well being
tick all the squares
give the opposing party
a whopping share
tis the voting season
tis a time for reason
Washington
cannot be in the hands
of Obama and his sidekicks
they've damaged
America
so dreadfully
be active at polling stations
for the betterment of the nation
show Mr Obama
that he is losing
a large proportion
of his voter share

an attractive honey ***
has been available
to so many folks
who've made a career
of abusing
us taxpaying folks

our small community
plays mien host
to a cohort
of these hard working folks
they sit on their tails
watching the world go by
the idea of getting a job
never enters their mind's eye
a particular gentleman
who is well know around town
has collected the dole for years
he's exploited the welfare system
like so many of his peers

he's a strapping man
who has good physicality
some of that could be expended
doing a day's labor
and his mental capabilities
are pretty keen
as he's always found ways
to cheat the welfare scheme
no wonder the taxpayer
is apt to feeling rather miffed
as he/she is always
giving the free gift

with the government
tightening the purse strings
those non genuine welfare recipients
will have to enter the job market
and stop feeding
from the generous taxpayer's
evergreen basket

Mr Torbay was a shape shifter
the electorate were to find out
over his years of representing us
he shifted shape on two occasions
on his being elected  
to council
he wore the hat of a labor man
when he got elected
to a our state seat
the hat he had
upon his head
was that of an independent
as the geography
of the political landscape
did change
Mr Torbay also underwent
a shape shifting change
This piece is based on a true story.

There is little calm in the American heartland
For there is a man who doesn't understand
The people want him to be impeached
For all the clauses of the constitution he's breached

He holds the highest office in the land but not for long
From Capital Hill he'll be hunted by the throng
The people are unsettled with the laws he's instigated
Not one of them has truly satiated

There will be civil disobedience in cities and towns
The people won't wear anymore of what he's let go down
A movement is brewing throughout the USA
To divest the country of his overly liberal ways

Democracy isn't well served by the current President
The people's voices speak with malcontent
The stars and stripes of American patriots cry out
For Obama to resign so they'll be free of his tout

Any President that would send our men to war to fight for this great nation, allow these soldiers to die from neglect on the soil of the United States of America while denying knowledge of it should not be due the process of impeachment. He should be immediately dismissed from his job and all benefits denied.

at the outset
his voice twas so promising
he painted a picture
for the citizenry so alluring
the people
were taken in
by the words he uttered
his fine speeches
were *******
and rhetoric cluttered
his vision for prosperity
didn't quiet eventuate
the economy of the land
sunk and did deflate
he talked the talk
but the man
just didn't have the fortitude
to walk the walk
the folks from California
to Boston
now observe
every nuance
in his void speeches
and they've become aware
of all the bosh
he preaches
his ratings as President
plummeting faster
than a parachutist
falling from the sky

In the line of fire they've been situated
Munitions squarely trained upon them
On many war stages they've been located
Honor for courage goes to all of them
Yet their commander in chief so remiss
Few quids for the ex-armed men he'll permit
Of men in uniform he brings them little bliss
His freedoms gained by troops truest grit
They've been refused the state's currency ***
Veterans of battles are offended
This cohort a verily forgotten lot
In a most loyal stance they've defended
The purse of country owes them a share
As they've given so much for liberty's care

2016 shall be a time to remember
more especially a date in November

the masses shall celebrate all over the nation
they'll be relieved of their primary aggravation

in the driver's seat a new face will be behind the wheel
with him leading the nation happy bells will peal

the people will take back their treasured constitution
they'll be feeling less like they are in destitution

stars and stripes flying so grandly once again
gone from the White House the donkey's stain

Democrat majority no more holding sway
twill be a marvelous Republican flag waving day

fifty states of America in delirious ecstasy
an end coming to the Obama odyssey
This piece was written, at the request of an American friend, who is a staunch Republican supporter.

Little children will monitor speech
for the hint of a racist remark.
Veterans cannot be trusted with guns,
there’s a risk that they’re violent at heart.
Is healthcare a tax or a fee
in the land of the formerly free?

Old white men to the back of the bus,
Check your privilege, leave the driving to us.
Barbarians encounter no gate,
freely enter and live off the State.
They‘ll vote Democratic, you see
in the land of the formerly free.

Our President, a liar and phony,
doles out largesse to all of his cronies.
While our roads and our bridges need work
We’re distracted by some twit that twerks.
It’s all misdirection you see
in the land of the formerly free.

Taxpayers are only half free,
constrained by demands of the State.
Despite their Utopian schemes
Inequality grows to extremes
They divided to conquer you see
in the land of the formerly free.
Our Country  maintains the facade of a Constitutional Republic, much like the Rome of Augustus, but our Caesar is a Nero, not a hero.

With the tightfisted budget now handed down
There is a lot of ******* people in our nation's towns
Mr Hockey has hit the taxpayers with a double decker bus
High and low income earners put well into a binding truss

Revolt in the Senate Chamber is showing on the cards
The government will be in receipt of a few shrapnel shards
Legislation won't get passed in a timely manner
There will be the flying of a double dissolution banner

Then the Abbott mob will be well and truly stumped
Voters are itching to have the extra tax imposts bumped
Canberra shall shortly be in for an enormous rattling
Heft taxing has the nation's populous struggling and battling

Had the GST been set at fourteen percent and on everything
Our tax burden to-day wouldn't be so troubling
Government must learn to live within its boundaries
As the tax paying public are sickening of all the levees

Tax policy is in need of urgent attention too right
For parliamentarians don't seem to see our plight
Mr Shorten has stated that his mob can fix our woes
But his side of politics has not the scent of a rose

We are stuck with a budget which has us ******* down
And it offers us nothing of the lights in mirthful town
The treasury calculator has a very mean spirited spike
Twill there ever be a tax regime which we'll all like

— The End —
