Sour Grapes
He could not even hold on to his Parliamentary seat
And just like Paul Keating before him he cannot accept his defeat
Johnny Howard is now an ex politician yet in defeat one without grace
By his attacking of former opponents he is trying to save face
On his huge retirement pension he is not satisfied
Like Keating he suffers of the syndrome known as dented pride
With him 'tis 'sour grapes' and 'twould seem fair to say
Just like a bad smell he just won't go away
Defeat must be shattering to his self esteem
But he has conned himself into believing he is still Australia's Prime Minister that's how it does seem
That he lost his seat and the Election he cannot accept or believe
And only the very conservative his political exit did grieve
All fair minded Australians of him retain bad memories
As the one who for to cling to power demonized poor boat refugees.
