John Howard just like a star struck school boy blush <br />Each time he gets to shake hands with George W Bush <br />And that look of admiration on his face for all to see <br />Not brought about by any feelings of equality. <br /> <br />When John addressed the Congress he did say <br />We like George W and the U.S.A. <br />And he meant all in Australia when he said we <br />He spoke for everyone including me. <br /> <br />Like all other races I like Americans though not all <br />And their politicians in many ways so small <br />And just like politicians everywhere <br />They have little concept of what's right and fair. <br /> <br /> <br />I did not ask John Howard for me to speak <br />He seems so patronizing and so weak <br />There are many in Australia nowadays who <br />Feel far more anti Government than I do. <br /> <br />to Address the U.S. Congress John Howard's biggest day <br />He told them we are with you all the way <br />And if George W decides to bomb Iraq <br />The support of Australia's Government he won't lack. <br /> <br />Perhaps if George W said we'll bomb Australia John would say <br />Good on you George and that too is okay <br />Respect and homage to you we will always pay <br />And like I say we're with you all the way. <br /> <br />If the present Australian Prime Minister ever wins the Nobel Prize <br />Then that would be more than a huge surprise <br />For incarcerating refugees his Government by misinformed voters empowered <br />You won't find any more weak kneed than Howard. <br /> <br />His address to the U.S. Congress only seem to magnify <br />The saying for to do a man's job you never send a boy <br />His so called speech won't live in history <br />And the weak kneed fellow did not speak for me.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-weak-kneed-little-fellow/
