JUST WHO IS THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA?
With Kevin Rudd spending
Ten months a year overseas;
Does that make Julia Gillard
The true Prime Minister?
Although Julia Gillard is called
The acting Prime Minister,
She's in power most of the time;
Should Kevin Rudd be called
The pretend Prime Minister?
Or perhaps we should call Him
The acting Prime Minister?
Although his acting certainly isn't
Up to Oscar-winning standard.
Can a man be our Prime Minister
When he's on an endless walkabout?
On a worldwide trek it seems;
Determined to visit every country
In the world ... except one.
Out of two-hundred and thirty-nine
Countries in the world the only one;
Kevin Rudd has never spent time in
Is a country called Australia!
Why must Australia have
Such a dud for a Prime Minister?
With the world on the brink
Of a Great Depression; Kevin Rudd
Is the last thing Australia needs!
Like Lucky Starr, Kevin Rudd
Has been everywhere, man;
Except for the only country
That he doesn't like ... Australia!
