The PM’s Distress

Our Nocuous Leader’s Bell 

“The ocean can be
a beautiful place but a
parlous place as well.”* 

Thus Gillard orates
whilst deeply distressed;† her
policies impel

“asylum seekers”

to frightful deaths; she consigns

those people to hell

but she’ll not revise
her lethal stance; she’ll ignore
each desolate knell:

“The ocean can be
a beautiful place but a
parlous place as well,

sometimes!”  Would that she

heard every cry and each

agonising yell,

peradventure she’d

see her part therein for the

evils that befell;

her obstinacy
lures people to their doom, as
any fool can tell:

“The ocean can be
a beautiful place but a
parlous place as well.”

*  see, in The Daily Telegraph, “Gillard distressed by asylum boat tragedy”, wherein Australian Prime Minister, Hon. Julia Gillard said, “The ocean can be a beautiful place but sometimes a dangerous place as well.”  Having expressed dismay, of course, she needs to do no more now to prevent such calamities reoccurring.
†  not that the PM actually stated that she herself was distressed; she said, “This is a very distressing and tragic incident.”
