An exhortation*
Cate Blanchett: “Come on, you people,
let us all bravely jump out
of this aeroplane!”
Other Passengers: “But we shall die!” Cate: “Tush!
You can do it if I can;
it won’t hurt a bit!”
Other Passengers: “That’s all very well
for you to say because you
have a parachute!”
Fairfax and the ABC: “Shut up, hateful slobs!
Those with parachutes also
have a right to speak.”

Criticism is so hurtful
Cate’s imploring us
to say ‘Yes’ to a new tax
to ruin us all.
Gillard has the hide
to tax carbon dioxide:
that’s just suicide.
The artistic Cate
supports the ruling party:
how adventurous!
Here’s her argument:
“It’s for the environment!
Back the Government!”

Luminescent Cate
in that Tim Tam ad was great,
I vociferate;
she plays a fine belle,
and I quite liked her as well
as Galadriel.
Cate is horrified
by some potshots from the side;
how dare folk be snide!
I too have the right,
however, in this wee fight,
to say she speaks shite.
Posted to Bishop Hill:
Alas for poor Cate
some commenters are irate.
She moans, “Why the hate?”
Perhaps I can explain:
the plebs dislike, in the main,
patrician disdain.
When a movie star
says “only I need a car”,
then she’s gone too far.
She cheerfully flies
far more than those she’ll chastise,
and backs Gillard’s lies.
In short, then, for me,
her pressing fault must be
her hypocrisy.
I forgot to say
Cate’s cameo was cool in
“Hot Fuzz”, a great film.
