The Blackwood* Council filled the hall
With cardboard
voting booths
In straggly lines
against the wall;
Who would Oz voters
choose?
Two gnomes perched
high on window sill
Peeped through
the drapes half-drawn
Watching Aussies
queue and mill;
To influence or
warn?
Time for change
with artful moves?
Cross-benchers
and the Greens
Make Liberals their
seats now lose;
While 'Teals'** burst
on the scene!
Those oscillating
now decide;
Results - not
unexpected
‘Labor’ may have a smooth ride
New faces are
elected!
But who put those
two gnomes in place?
What do they
represent?
Inscrutable,
each smiling face
Still hides
their true intent!

* Blackwood - in South Australia
** Teals - new group of more moderate liberal independents
Note: Blackwood is experiencing frequent 'attacks" by the Gnome Warrior!
