When last week's terror seems like history
as with an addict who seeks newer thrill,
the mutual destruction of Israel
and Arab world replacing Kim Jong Il,
When leaders who should model saving grace
are, rather, all-consumed with saving face,
and hopes of peace grow by the day more faint,
allusions to it brushed aside as quaint,
When hurricanes swirl metaphorically,
sooner, more intensely than before,
the dollar falls as the sea level climbs
so even Murdoch longs for boring times,
In refuge from outrageous Fortune's slings,
it helps merely to contemplate true things.
Money is the best way there is

Said the Tasmanian Premiere
As he wiped his arse with a forest.
(bleached of course,
and two-ply).
Said the skanky chimp
As he hacked the tree of life
To get the topmost fruit,
(he couldn't stand heights).
