On Barnaby Joyce's Resignation Poem by Francis Duggan

He has resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the National Party Barnaby Joyce
In the end it does seem he was left with little choice
Due to his infidelities and alleged sexual harassment against him he swallowed his pride
And to go to the back benches and take a huge cut in salary he did decide
But those politicians who at Barnaby's fall from grace sand guffaw
May do well to reflect since they are not without flaw
Since most politicians their craving for greater power do pursue
And to their higher selves they become untrue
Barnaby Joyce has lost most of his political power
And is losing his petals like a fading Autumn flower
Though his seat in Parliament he does retain
He may never lead the National Party again
For his moral indiscretions some price he did pay
But then such is life as the wise one does say.
