The Gillard and The Rudd - a political poem


The Gillard and the Rudd

By Paul Howlett



The Gillard and the Rudd

Had it out one day

Both wanted the same thing

To be king pin, top of the heap

Gillard was rudderless

Rudd was gilled to his ears in angst

Lots of vitriol coming from people, from his past

He’s just awful, said the treasurer

 Forgetting that he was part of his past

Rudd and he were buddies

But that was not to last

What we see is in the life of politics

One friend is one’s enemy depending on the date

The position that you hold, but what will be the fate

Of those that spit fire and hate

Will all come back to haunt them in the long run

As karma kicks in...sends them all out of power

Giving them all a cold shower

The winner of course is the Liberal National Party

As Election Day dawns and the suns sets on the Labor Circus.
