The election was held The votes were all cast National had won on the night But subsequent happenings left us aghast
It was up to Winston to decide the Government He who with National had utu to burn So he decided to put Labour in power Led by one named Jacinda Ardern
Winston had it in mind all along As Deputy PM at large He could do whatever he wanted As he would be the one really in charge
And so it has transpired He has them on a string Without his tick of approval They can’t do a thing
Not that it makes much difference As they are totally and utterly inept It’s just one crisis after another And many many promises not kept
Just look at the Ministers appointed The best of a less than average bunch Mostly they appear to give the impression That they are well and truly out to lunch
If we start with our global celebrity dear Leader, Whose political motives some might think sinister One could be pardoned for having the temerity to question Whether she’s even up to the role of a part time Prime Minister
Next on the list is Grant Robertson A man not known for his humility And neither for that matter Having even a modicum of financial ability
How about the hapless Phil Twyford A personality truly ego filled He soon had that knocked out of him Trying to cope with questions on Kiwibuild
Then there’s our Carmel Sepuloni Encouraging everyone onto welfare The way they’ve got this economy tanking Nine out of ten will most likely be there
Mustn’t forget little Chris Hipkins Determined to give education a jolt However with the reaction to what he’s currently proposing He’s fast proving he’s not worth his salt
Kelvin Davis is supposedly the Minister of Tourism A man who’s hardly ever reassuring One is left with the distinct impression He’d be much better off if he was simply just touring
Can’t leave out Shane Jones, Minister of Largesse Who thinks he speaks with such aplomb He keeps trying to tell us with unrelenting gusto His regional policies are going down a bomb
You have to feel sorry for Minister James Shaw Always trying to give climate change a mention His real problem though are the ladies in The Squad They certainly need a lot more of his attention
I could go on but I think you’ve heard enough Of what in all honesty are a pretty motley lot Unfortunately the harsh reality is They’re the best of everyone they’ve got.
So thank you for nothing Winston Apart from driving us all insane And if you want to get re-elected Best not try and pull this stunt again!
A right-wing crusader. Reached an age that embodies the dictum only the good die young. Country music buff. Ardent Anglophile. Hates hypocrisy and by association left-wing politics.
