Walking this burning deck
Life’s becoming a pain in the neck
Where’s that healing pill
A wellness, instead of this daily swill
Dribbling out of the great white one
Carrying on like a piece of dung
Crazy statements like, “Drink Dettol”
Spewing from his cake-hole
And stupidly, “You loot, we’ll shoot”
Sickly crap off his swanky boots
With a raised Bible in hand
A crooked lightning bolt struck our land

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Well said and in rhyme too. We are in a sorry state and I’m praying that his tenure will be over soon – I just hope we can survive his term.

Yes… he’s not the right sort of leader for troubled times…. he’s more worried about the economy and money … rather than the health and being of the people…

All people need a wise, benevolent, servant-leader. He is none of these things.

Yeah, he’s an economist leader, not a humanitarian leader, and a compassionate leader is what’s required during the communities stressful times….

Sadly true…such a mystery as to how out of a population of hundreds of millions it came down to him. He’s a salesmen.
