Kevin Rudd addresses his colleagues before leaving Australia for the APEC meeting
Listen up, it�s Kevin here,
With a new rule that must be heard,
When talking to the media about the economy,
Don�t use the �D� word.
Julia, while I�m away,
No matter what�s occurred,
Please be very careful what you say,
Don�t use the �D� word.
Wayne, old boy, with what you know,
They�ll want your views heard,
But after your performance at MYEFO,
You won�t even remember the �D� word.
Lindsay, just keep speaking quickly,
Ensure your messages are blurred,
Nod you head and come across as prickly,
They won�t even know if you used the �D� word.
Now as for the rest of you lowly MP�s,
I find the notion quite absurd,
But if you happen to be interviewed,
Don�t use the �D� word.
A voice from the back of the room;
Mr Rudd, a humble back-bencher here,
Sorry, but I�m far from impressed,
When it comes to our governments first year,
The only �D� word I think of is �depressed�.
No, not �depressed�, you idiot,
That�s not the �D� word, is it?
The �D� word I�m speaking of is �deficit�,
Oh damn I went and said it!
A backbencher breaks ranks when approached by the media;
�I�ve just come from a caucus meeting,
And am happy to discuss what was said,
I�m going to break ranks and use the �D� word,
Kevin Rudd is a Dickhead.�
