Doggerel for the Federal Election in the Seat of Melbourne

Adam Bandt
Shook my hand
Quite a hand
Had Adam Bandt
If I had
Not have planned
How to vote, then Adam Bandt
Would have won me with his hand
(What a hand
Had Adam Bandt).

Cath Bowtell’s
Quite nice as well
She smiled at all
And offered help
But she did not shake my hand –
For shaking hands
See Adam Bandt.

I’ve got to “hand” it to you. This made me laugh. 🙂

  Thanks! I’m glad. It says a lot about politics that the jokes are still funny when the names are unknown.
