This little ditty of mine was originally published on 1st August, 2019. Jack Brazil is the Green Candidate for Dunedin in the NZ national election that is currently slated for September 19th, 2020.

I'm not his greatest fan.

those two pampered poodles
Jack, what exactly is their
carbon footprint
Is their daily shampoo
From a plastic bottle

Is their food local
Is it Taieri vegan
Or is it canned horse from Dubbo
Flown in on chartered jumbo

Is your messiah 
a reworked Ronald Reagan
Is there a thatcher in the rye
Do your pews have cushions
Is your theology liberational

How much does 
your preacher cost exactly.....
