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.
