There was movement at the Press Club
For the word had passed around
That three wise men had spoken
New consensus here was found
The other wild bush horses
Wallowed deeply in regret
Their coalition blown apart
By the failure of threat
Poor Tony cried fair dinkum
This leaves us gutted to the bone
How could they choose the chestnut
After all the love we’ve shown
As Fat Back chugged another pie
A tear was seen in Andrew’s eye
He’d noticed Malcolm’s quiet glee
As Tony sobbed on bended knee
Three wise men stand above the fray
Smile knowing what they’ve done this day
Sees our National interest truly served
With guile their honour yet preserved
With due deference to Banjo Patterson .. I’ll now resist saying I told you so !!!
