Australians, Will You Join Me In a Toast To The Red Queen?
Three independents have finally allowed Downunderland to be ruled by The Red Queen of Hearts. A red headed, unmarried, atheist woman originally from Wales is an amazing leap forward. It does seem all the king’s horses and all the king’s men will not be able to put The Abbott back together again. The Red Queen now has to contend with The Mad Hatter, March Hair and Dormouse.
The celebrated Queen of Hearts has won.
It is a new croquet game on the lawn.
The contestants have only just begun
To gather at first light, of a new dawn.
Three assembled will play to a blind spot:
Mad Hatter’s mallet, a silly white hat,
Dormouse, a tiny wee stick of oak shot,
And Windsor, The March Hair, has but one bat.
High croquet tea, with both sides in the game,
Is had with a food fight when they play on.
The opposing side will blame and defame
The Red Queen of Hearts and her mallet, Swan.
This game will play for another three years;
The prize at the end? Severed rabbit ears.
Ah, four slender votes shy of the requited 76 needed for majority rule, so it’s the first hung parliament in some seven decades. And into this complex political scenario steps Julia Gillard of the Labor Party. I had to chuckle at your mention of the three independent MPs — Bob Katter, Rob Oakeshott, and Tony Windsor — in the same stanza, close-packed in consecutive lines no less, because of their insistence that they would engage in discussion as a bloc but vote separately. I loved what you did with Katter’s silly looking white hat, making him the Mad Hatter, and even though I have less hair than Tony Windsor (which is saying something!) your permutation of the March Hare into March Hair made me chuckle. What can I say other than it is a very interesting scenario regardless of one’s political persuasion. I wish I were better informed because there’s probably a bit more I’m missing, but I’ll catch up eventually… before another election! LOL Good work Libby.
