what a joy it is
to have a new broom
for it sweeps clean
all of my rooms

the old one had gone
well past its used by date
as the straw in it
did quickly dissipate

working with my new broom
is a breeze
brushing away the dirt
is done with ease

and there is an added bonus
with the broom
I can set it on
low power or on high zoom

I have had many brooms
throughout the years
but none of them
have filled me with many cheers

the present one
is truly a delight to employ
and it sweeps better
than Mrs Troys

Mr Abbott is backsliding
on his election promise
he told the electorate there
would be no new taxes
how gullible us voters were
to listen to his rhetoric
the right honorable treasurer
is going to slap
a nice little revenue raiser
on the taxpayers
the government
wants to bring
the books back
into the black
there's a shortfall
in the budget's bottom line
this is playing vigorously
on Mr Abbott's and Mr Hockey's minds
the numbers
for the budget
are all in
and the government
is out to top up
the treasury's
income tin

come lay with me
in a field of flowers
come lay with me
we'll explore those regions
where love
lies
we'll explore those receptive regions
neath
open skies

come lay with me  
in a field of flowers
come lay with me
we'll immerse ourselves
in love's
deep
sea

come lay with me
in a field of flowers
come lay with me
we'll imbibe
in intimacy's
ecstasy
