On Julia's Pokies Backflip Poem by Francis Duggan

That P M Julia Gillard went back on her word to Andrew Wilkie ought to come as no surprise
Since she is a politician and most politicians do tell lies
In Australia the pro poker machine no gambling limit lobby does pack a lot of clout
And staying P M for Julia is what it is all about
We know of Julia Gillard at all costs to power she will cling
Though she has her detractors some her praises too do sing
Australia's first woman Prime Minister is a politician first of all
And we know most politicians in their ways can be small
As for Tasmania's M P Andrew Wilkie he is new to the political game
For believing Julia Gillard he only has himself to blame
He may have withdrawn his support for the government but Julia as P M will survive
For two more years her opponent Tony Abbott of power she will deprive
It is true for our life's lessons there is some price to pay
And that goes for anti gambling M P Andrew Wilkie who has learned in the hard way.
