the doyens of poetry
have made their call
to whit they've ever so subtly uttered
the bush bard must take a fall

we've no requirement
for her uncultured variety of poetry
in our hallowed halls
we only accept tip top quality

the bard of the bush
must finesse her quill
if she wishes to sit at the table
of those masters atop the high hill

the
dream
he
held
for such a long time

and
that
dream
finally did materialize

he
presently
sits
in the seat of power

yet
his
memory
is seriously compromised

the
dream
job
requires a sharpness of mind

oft
he
can't
string
the words of a sentence together

his
minders
prepare
carefully
scripted notes for him to read

anything
he
says
that's
extempore
is full of gaffes

the
dreamer's
dream
will be a nightmare

as
citizens
of
the
country
are well awake

to
the
old
man's
incoherent babble

Here is the sunny land of Oz
We rarely receive Christmas snows
How we'd love to be singing
Bing Crosby's lines in melodic rows

As we gather around the barbeque
To roast our sausages and steaks
We'll be keeping an eye out
For flies, mosquitoes and slithering snakes

We'll be dreaming of much cooler climes
Like the ones in the Northern Hemisphere
As we're consuming our gross packs
Of warm Castlemaine ginger beer

Crooning Bing's Christmas rhyme
Will give us all a sense
Of what is it like to have snow falling
Over a hot Aussie backyard fence

duality
portrays itself
in common things
to examine them
is much like
self examination
therein
lies
two sides of one item

the patient is in need
of morphine
to ease his pain
the injecting of the drug
brings relief and calm
to his ailing body

the druggie in ***** lane-way
shoots up with an unclean
needle
he's in a dire position
transmittable
disease
in his system
a time bomb is ticking

a commonly used instrument
such as a syringe
gives and insight
into duality
which
abides in one item

dusk descends upon the Oz landscape
the sun slowly reclines westward
cattle and sheep make for nightly camps
the faint sounds of birds are heard
gum trees cast last shadows
o'er the land a hush
it's settling time
day closes
then to
night
''''''''''''''''
stars
aplenty
fill the sky
the scent of earth
flows on the soft breeze
so calming the night hours
the country is serene and still
how fortunate we are to live here
in a place which is like paradise
as the moon sails across the bushland skies

there is so much
dusting for me to do
where to start my mission
I haven't a clue

tons of it cover
the kitchen sideboard
and there are kilos of it
on the six inch skirting boards

the feather duster
is willing to shift it
but I haven't enough energy
to use it

maybe the dusting can wait
until Thursday
then I'll have sufficient pep
to flick away

dusting isn't my favorite
household chore
as a matter of fact
it is a right royal bore

I'll let a few more
dust particles settle
and concentrate
on boiling the kettle

the dictator's unjust message
is of
socialism
and soon we'll be caged
in its
schism

the voice of the inflicters
shall
increase
as the sole individual's  
suffering won't
decrease

the leftists want
total
hegemony
over our minds bodies
and
souls

the world's population
will need to comply and  
convert
as this transition
shant be
inert  

the dystopian times
draw ever
nigh
whereupon tyranny's
rule shall
apply

so far to the left
so far to the right
no common ground
found in each
others insight

the political divide
becoming an even wider
chasm
violence erupting
society gripped
by a spasm

the center position
always ignored
neither party attempting
routes unexplored

melding together
a better choice
the path ahead
of one universal voice

so far to the left
so far to the right
no common ground
found in each
others insight

he ravished her bare back
with the most eager kisses
her comely flesh invited
him to continue

over the Christmas period
we tend to eat too much nosh
our bellies feel like they've been hit
with a heavy food cosh

it is advisable to consume
just the right amount of grub
as our stomachs don't want to be like
an over full bath tub

fear not the ebony bird
flying in the sky
the message of providence
on his wings ply*

an omen
he brings
voicing
of shiner things

over the centuries
a misrepresentation
had of his meaning
on the black feathers
we can be confidential leaning

above where the raven
shows a plumage dark
our eyes shall encounter
the luminous spark

he's symbolic
of fortune's path
he's signalling
*no visible wrath

as poets are an eclectic crew
they write their poems
with variable word brews

some like the standard mix
of adjectives and verbs
whilst others have a penchant
for more exotic herbs

divulging my unique verse brew
I shall not do
as a bush bard keeps
all of her own clues

an assortment of styles
are brewed in the world of poetry
which makes for a distinguishing
panoply

that handsome guy
has just given me the eye
and my heart is soaring
so high in the sky

he's hooked me in
with his sweet boyish grin
and with that cute dimple
in the middle of his chin

in his perfect package
I'm totally wrapped
and in it I hope to remain
forever trapped

he's quite a guy
and he'll always
have my heart tied
tied to him so tight
we'll be squeezing and kissing
every day and night

such a lucky girl I am
to be taking a ride
on his appealing tram

the look in his eye
has just floored me
with divine ecstasy

the Australian Labor Party
is in mourning to-day
the great left wing union
in the sky
called Gough away
he was a leviathan
of Australian politics
in the seventies
many social issues
he championed
on the parliament's floor
with Rex Connors and Dr Jim Cairns
his biggest bone of contention
was Sir John Kerr
he sunk Gough's money supply
with Malcolm Frazer
looking on from the side
to-day there is a dark pall
cast over the Labor Party
as it says farewell
to Gough
men and women
of
Australia
will
never
see
his
likes
again

will they ever come clean, show the verification deed

through the dresser draws
one had to ferret
in order to locate
the egg lifter

it is no stretch of the imagination
his beret did fit him so comfortably
upon his overly inflated cranium
it sat most perfectly

emblazoned
in letters large
none could miss
the huge advertisement
had an insignia
telling of self aggrandizement

the cap did well correlate
with the egotistical *****
who wore it
he twas big on being
full of himself
ergo...
Mr Importance

eight wickets
eight wickets
he did so well score
on the pitch at Bangalore

he spun the ball
he spun the ball*
in the first session of play
over after over toiling away

his efforts were fab
his efforts were fab
bamboozling the batsmen
with a seaming flight of hem

not since Warne
not since Warne
had such a display been seen
on the oval's twenty two yard sheen

a magic spell
a magic spell
Lyon's spinning technique
*was truly magnifique

I dream of owning an electric
car
but to buy one is a dream too
far

with a price tag of above sixty
grand
how can I get that sort of money in my
hand

I only receive a meagre
wage
and to pay it off would take an
age

I wonder if Elon Musk could loan me some folding
stuff
then I'm sure I'd be financial
enough

A nation mourns the passing of a great man
A most esteemed leader of the South African lands
He railed against white rule all those years ago
His colored brothers and sisters followed his tide changing flow
The world has lost a man who so inspired
His courage and grit are to be admired
The father of freedom in true democracy
He spoke the words for his people's equality

unlike Biden
an elephant has a good memory
and all the elephants
around the place
won't forget Biden's
unsatisfactory
presidency

the frequent blunders
the omnipresent gaffes
the manifold mistakes
all stored in an elephant's
memory bank  

and the history books will
write this passage with letters large
why did the voters allow an
absent minded donkey to be in charge

elm branches dance*
to the tempo of the wind's pace
elm branches dance
their leaves caught by its light trance
which has the daintiness of grace
swaying like a whisper's embrace
*elm branches dance

the long period of heat
is so very draining
and us down under folk
are all complaining

no cool change
is in the offering
and we're all
certainly suffering

day after day the sun beats
in a fashion so hot
which leaves us feeling
like a cooking ***

signs of rain
to moisten the atmosphere
don't appear
on the horizon anywhere here

we're enduring
a lengthy searing spell
that resembles
the ember's of hell

nothing is exact
along life's path, routes vary
clench their challenges

empires
come
and
empires
go

over
the
course
of
history
it
has
been
a
repeat
show

the
American
empire
is
on
its
way
out
and
a
new
empire
will
come
about

who was responsible
for the queen's ultimate disappearance
who took it upon themselves
to seek her clearance

over quite a length of time
those of a regal pedigree
have been unexpectedly vanished
from the monarchical tree

these culprits cannot be
traced anywhere on the ground
its as thought they are secreted
beneath a shadowy mound

and we aren't able to stem
their anti regal sentiment
which is ever hardening
like a ten ton cube of cement

exhibiting the crown's
bloodline doth bring vaporization
where there will be nowt more
espying of a visitation

danger is omnipresent
and its peril aimed on any empress
an unknown body of disfavour
not requiring her impress

He played in her lushness all night long
She had a moist garden of much pleasure
Within it he could place his stem's treasure
Each stroke he offered twas truly strong
Her ******* were so delicious to taste
She became excited by his tongue's action
The feel of it made a great impaction
Their love transmitter twas like a hot baste
Her inner petals did hold his stem tight
Glistening sweat beads flowing on bed sheets
On the night's enthralling they did explore
A crescendo reached a sky of delight
Remarkable were their nocturnal feats
When dawn came they partook of an encore
