John Key A Fly In Supergold Card Ointment Poem by Terence George Craddock

time passes April 2016 a fly buzzes
in Supergold Card ointment National
leader dirty deeds John Key becomes

a rich flea infesting a dog's back
is key to Government attempts
to erode free travel for those aged

65 and over John Key flea wanted
to change government funding
of the SuperGold card scheme

a change from an individual fare
reimbursement to a bulk funding
model yes dirty Key government

wanted a $28 million funding
cap for Key plan next five years
aside from inflation adjustments

meaning increasing cost charges
Winston Peters defender of aged
retired said flea key Government

is trying to kill Supergold Card
Winston Peters declares to fight
invasive flea John Key biting dog's

back retired worker senior citizens
National John Key Government
was out to erode stop the transport

component of Supergold Card
allowing tens and thousands
of senior citizens to connect

with their precious families
in a way they can afford
it changed people's lives

puts people on seats on buses trains ferries
that would be unused left empty otherwise
in off-peak travel hours what was outcome?

Winston Peters fighting for senior citizens
dealt a knock out blow to Key flyweight
John Key infamous for Ponytail Gate sins
