ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Kevin sent an E-Mail to tell me what he's done
and all the things he's gonna do to make Australia run.
He told me I can vote for him but here's the bit that sucks
the bloody stingy bugger then hit me for five bucks.
BP

He hit you for five bucks you say and pray tell did you pay?
Every little bit helps because Rome weren’t built in a day
and now our country needs a bit of help to get on top,
so all this shelling out and freeloading now needs to stop.
MKC

Well I've never voted Labor and I never bloody will
Just what do they think I am some kinda flaming dill.
They just announced they're gonna put a tax on what I save
It's no wonder I'm frustrated and I'm flying off into a rave.
BP

Now Kev has found another way to hit us poor old folk.
The way those Politicians treat us is a flamin' joke.
Again I say it loud and clear, without fear or contrition
no matter who you vote for - you still get a politician.
ZK

Politicians are just people some are greedy I suppose
but there’s others who do really care – so why not vote for those?
They may not be with the main parties,who have bees in their bonnet
but at end of day I hope they’ll keep the other buggers honest.
mkc

Keep the buggers honest , well we had that all before
It seems so long ago now, was it in the days of yore?
I doubt that any pollies now would really have a dip
They haven't been kept honest since the days of Donny Chip
MB

An honest bloody polllie I've never seen one yet
They say if you pay peanuts then monkeys what you get.
Well I think we pay top dollar but I don't know why we bother
cause no matter who you vote for they're as bad as one another.

Now Peter bloody Beattie has resurfaced from the dead
anyone who votes for him must have rocks in their head.
I think that Mausie might be right and her comments will I note
it just might be a minor party is the prudent way to vote.

Bob ( over it already ) Pacey

My vote will once again go to the bloke in the big hat
who doesn’t mind a natter and is quiet happy to chat.
He’s got a farming background, affinity with the land
and he stands up for the farmer so this bloke is my main man.
mkc

Well you’re gunna give your vote to the bloke in the big hat
Good for you, haven’t you worked out yet that he’s a flamin’ rat -
like most! He tries though if that is any consolation.
Who knows, he couldn’t do much worse at running this here nation.

Your words are true perhaps – or not I am not really sure
I doubt his party would get in but they’ll get through the door
when they count the bits of paper on which we have put our ticks
and then we’ll know just who are lying, thieving, cheating hicks.
