It’s a long time since I’ve been inspired to write silly verse about party politics. I’m still quite proud of this clerihew, from election night November 2007:
Kevin Michael Rudd
may turn out to be a dud
but at least we’ll no longer be showered
with the duplicitous spittle of Howard.
Here are a few attempts inspired by recent events.
Clerihew:
Scott John Morrison's
orisons
must have fallen on deaf ears. He
lost to Albanese.
And another clerihew:
Anthony Norman Albanese won’t make everything magically easy but now we will not hear too much more from Scott.
Double dactyl:
Hokumen pokumen PM Scott Morrison counted on miracles, came up with zip. No longer licensed for bloviatorial chats to the press he must button his lip.
Limerick:
There is a Gen X-er called Scott Who boasted he stopped boats a lot. He bulls and he dozes And doesn't hold hoses And very soon will be forgot.
Feel free to add yours in the comments.
Lovely work – to reduce those uglies to such few syllables – genius I say!

Ha ha!
But re KRudd… he was a legend on the campaign trail in Qld. And Gillard’s absence until the very last useless minute was noticeable.

What’s more, Gillard doesn’t rhyme with much.
