HMS Australia is adrift
Heading from the rough waters
Of a turbulent election
Towards a blustering maelstrom
The senate will be scurrilous
At best, antagonistic at worst
The captain has lost control
Instead of clearing the deck
The double dissolution brought disarray
Rebellion is strife, the knives are out
The worst mutineers are back onboard
With revenge most in mind
The weeks to come will see bloodshed
Money spent generously during the campaign
Seemingly smoothed the waters
But now the deep currents of unrest
Sweep the ship away without a tiller
Australian parliament has lost its compass.
