Rejoice Poem by Ivan Donn Carswell

Again rejoice, the golden
voice of godlike Barnaby
begets a view of National
spew reserved and
served as rustic
common sense.

On ‘The Economy’
his mien has been chameleon
yet say the least he now espouses
freedom from restraint
if votes ensue that dam
the shocking waste.

And is he Hockey’s mate
who speaks for Treasury?
Well woe proposed to those
opposed to anal debt constraint;
as minister, may God forbid,
he’ll feature as a laxative.
