THE CURSE OF EL-DWEEBO

Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)



The curse of El-Dweebo
            has finally been lifted
And a great weight was removed
                      from our shoulders,
After seven years of being stiffed
The stone-throwers turned
            from pebbles to boulders.

The curse of El-Dweebo
                        has finally departed
With Jeff Kennett’s evil regime,
              Victoria at last is restarted
The sesspool of Kennett-ism at last
                         has been cleaned.

The curse of El-Dweebo
                          finally has ended
Our hearts, like this state,
                          now can truly soar,
This broken locale can be mended
As we clean out the sty,
                          of the fascist boors.

The curse of El-Dweebo
                    at last, has been broken
Anarchy has been ended at last,
The voice of the people
                 has very loudly spoken
As voters pulled away
                        this red devil’s masque.

The curse of El-Dweebo
                has now been “Jeffed”
He’ll find that there’s no
                         hiding place left,
His Thousand-Year Reich
                        has totally been cleft
And this poor state of Victoria
              has once again been blessed.
