A prayer for the new PM

A prayer for the new PM

Lord, may we enjoy this honeymoon.

Lord, give us some time 

To find pleasure in our new PM,

His charm, his wit, his family,

His energy, his hair, his all-around handsomeness.

May we enjoy his smile that betrays

His youthful optimism, his lack of cynicism.  

Give us some time to bask in the radiance

Of his hopefulness, his sincerity 

In believing that in ethnic diversity 

There is strength, in gender equality

There is principle, in giving refuge to those in need 

There is justice, and in acknowledging the traditions

Of our indigenous forbearers there is necessity.

Let us enjoy this moment, without doubt or questioning 

Because, as he said quizzically, it’s 2015.

So let us enjoy Lord

Until the next session of Parliament, at least.
