‘LEFT’ HOOKS & ‘RIGHT’ CROSSES
They’re in the ring The gong has gone Fists are flying The fight is on! ‘Saucy’ Sid, the challenger Is fighting fit they say, On Parliamentary ‘workouts’ He’s been daily trained to stay. ‘Prosperity Pete’ the holder With three K.O.’s to his score Is confident that he can win With a ‘left’ hook to the jaw. ‘Left’ hooks and Tight’ crosses Are landing thick and fast Both are taking heavy blows But who will stop the last? An eager crowd is watching The tactics of the pair, Asking only that the fight Is cleanly fought and fair. Each has able seconds And cheer squads galore, But one will need an acid drop, When they lift him from the floor! Who will win the title? Which one will go down? ' Will a ‘left’ hook or a Tight’ cross Collect the political crown? P.S. What do I think? Why start an argument? . Perhaps you’re “right” We may get “left”! But after all we’ve got to have Some sort of government! W. R. Whiteside, Whakatane.
