If the Prime Minister was a houseplant

2020 edit

1.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       he wouldn’t go missing under pressure,
       he’d always be at work.
       He wouldn’t go on holidays in a national emergency,
       or attend the football against the health advice.
 
2.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       he’d do his job with quiet dignity
       and wouldn’t create a fuss, whinge for profit,
       or attack the people getting on with the job.
 
3.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       he wouldn’t say stupid stuff
       or smile that crocodile smirk.
 
4.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       he’d be working for clean air
       and wouldn’t care for deniers,
       a houseplant takes only the water he needs
       and doesn’t give it to mates to waste.
 
5.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       he wouldn’t  attack the vulnerable
       risking infection in schools and aged care
       or without income from business closures.
 
6.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       he’d be unmoved by foolish talk
       and wouldn’t change his ways at the behest of reptiles.
 
7.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       he wouldn’t seek assistance from poisonous weeds.
 
8.   If the Prime Minister was a houseplant
       it’d be better than what we’ve got.
 
Conclusion:
For my two bob I’d vote for a houseplant
before any of this bloody lot.
 
Recommendation:
Register your houseplant
when the next election comes.
