Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were: blood, cripple and lurk.
Yes, I remember.
In Canberra,
There is only one show,
A blood sport above all others,
Where socially crippled MPs,
Spawned from unwed mothers,
Debate dull matters
Like state decrees.
You can’t really call it work.
As soft and cushy jobs go,
It’s a pretty good lurk.

ReplyDeleteAn easy job in any country...bunch off toffs and Dimwits...mind you I wouldn't risk jogging past the PM here...poor guy is probably locked up by now
ReplyDeletepoliticians, I'm not sure it's easy work you're darned f you do and darned if you don't. But they can sure make the populace angry
ReplyDeleteWho knows all the details....
ReplyDeleteYour sardonic piece makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a blood sport.
ReplyDeleteThey appear to be a familiar grouping. It is more or less similar to our lawmakers. Great lines Cosmo!
ReplyDeleteHank
a different view...:)
ReplyDeleteIt's not so different in Ottawa. Inane as all get out, really. With politicians, twas ever thus (je pense).
ReplyDeletePeace and joy, JC.
You're a writer? Cool shoes. Me, too (kinda, sorta). I know for a fact, however, you gotta whole lotta intelligence behind those two ears, girl; thus, I wanna give you my finite existence: to intrinsically value the Great Beyond which I’ve learned to appreciate, to visualize the fundamental reality of infinity is why I‘m here for a teeny-weeny amount of time. Looky here...
ReplyDeletePrecisely why I had our ‘philanthropic + epiphany’ (=so much to give + vision): wanna see a perfectly cognizant, fully-spectacular, Son-ripened-Heaven?? … yet, I’m not sure if we're on the same page if you saw what I saw. Greetings, earthling. Because I was an actual NDE on the outskirts of the Great Beyond at 15 yet wasn’t allowed in, lemme share with you what I actually know Seventh-Heaven’s Big-Bang’s gonna be like: meet this advanced, bombastic, ex-mortal Upstairs for the most juvenile-lip-service, ultra-groovy, picturesque-paradox, pleasure-beyond-measure, Ultra-Yummy-Reality-Addiction in the Great Beyond for a BIG-ol, kick-some-ass, party-hardy, robust-N-risqué-passion you DO NOT wanna miss the sink-your-teeth-in-the-smmmokin’-hot-deal enveloping, engulfing our catch-22-excitotoxins. Cya soon, girl…
