The election was held  
The votes were all cast  
National had won on the night  
But subsequent happenings left us aghastIt was up to Winston to decide the Government   
He who with National had utu to burn  
So he decided to put Labour in power  
Led by one named Jacinda ArdernWinston had it in mind all along  
As Deputy PM at large  
He could do whatever he wanted  
As he would be the one really in chargeAnd so it has transpired   
He has them on a string  
Without his tick of approval   
They can’t do a thing

Not that it makes much difference   
As they are totally and utterly inept   
It’s just one crisis after another  
And many many promises not keptJust look at the Ministers appointed  
The best of a less than average bunch  
Mostly they appear to give the impression  
That they are well and truly out to lunchIf we start with our global celebrity dear Leader,   
Whose political motives some might think sinister  
One could be pardoned for having the temerity to question  
Whether she’s even up to the role of a part time Prime Minister Next on the list is Grant Robertson  
A man not known for his humility   
And neither for that matter  
Having even a modicum of financial ability How about the hapless Phil Twyford   
A personality truly ego filled  
He soon had that knocked out of him  
Trying to cope with questions on Kiwibuild Then there’s our Carmel Sepuloni   
Encouraging everyone onto welfare  
The way they’ve got this economy tanking  
Nine out of ten will most likely be there Mustn’t forget little Chris Hipkins   
Determined to give education a jolt  
However with the reaction to what he’s currently proposing   
He’s fast proving he’s not worth his saltKelvin Davis is supposedly the Minister of Tourism  
A man who’s hardly ever reassuring   
One is left with the distinct impression   
He’d be much better off if he was simply just touringCan’t leave out Shane Jones, Minister of Largesse  
Who thinks he speaks with such aplomb  
He keeps trying to tell us with unrelenting gusto  
His regional policies are going down a bombYou have to feel sorry for Minister James Shaw   
Always trying to give climate change a mention  
His real problem though are the ladies in The Squad  
They certainly need a lot more of his attention I could go on but I think you’ve heard enough  
Of what in all honesty are a pretty motley lot  
Unfortunately the harsh reality is   
They’re the best of everyone they’ve got.So thank you for nothing Winston  
Apart from driving us all insane  
And if you want to get re-elected  
Best not try and pull this stunt again!
