vote for goat 2

the weekend past there was an election in these parts
a chance, nay an obligation to vote for the hypocrite of your choice
you could vote for Mr Thwacking of labourpains
Mr caricature smug fucker of libellous party
mr socially responsible of the bright green shirt party
mr ignorant hate monger of the fucking fist party
or a handful of independents running on various themes
to remove the grand prix from albert park
to have free ice cream at under age gigs
to ban weeds growing in cracks
to stick it to the man
to make everybody pray to some god somewhere

if only we had the monster raving loony party
to add some levity to the process
but no
there are the flunkies and floozies and fuckheads handing out broken trees
hardwood?
vote like this!
vote like that!
do as we say!
be more like the USA!
keep the queen!
sew fear and prejudice!
send children back down the mines!
exploit the least powerful!
work for gruel policy for the underemployed!

preferences sent off the gather sticks and kindling
nasty little hateful people searching out smalllikemindedminds
apparently somebody assaulted one of 'em...
hurrah
bunting everywhere
ribbons and rags
blocking your path like so many christians
or 3rd world people floggin something

needless to say i voted for the goat party
with their outstanding platform
it had banners and planks
sound policies regarding chewing on stuff
standing around being shitty
and general bloody mindedness
progressive beard wearing
representing of beelzebub
noteworthy clove hoof dictums
loved by the ancient greeks
(not in the same way they loved boys)
be it in the form of Pan or a Satyr
pumping out space rock on his pipes
running around knobbing all in sight
maidens, wenches and shepherds all


Then as usual the CHRISTIANS came along
with custom duplicity and manipulation
co-opted the image and made him out to be EEEEEEVIL

vote for goat!
