Deep Deep Shadow Minister for Immigration Scott Morrison - our thanks to the Monthly

– a new Coalition low – Inferring asylum seekers are riddled

with nasty diseases

Hideous Diseases Tango

Step off the leaky boat here and then we will scarya,
And accuse you of rampant malaria.
We’ll whisk you all off in our spotless new buses
As you cough up a lung with pertussis.

And if it’s your dickie that smarts and often tingles,
It’s probably syphilis or shingles.
So if you decide here and now you will threaten us,
We’ll know from your lockjaw – it’s tetanus!

Step off your overloaded barge with a nasty discharge –
As you dance to the Hideous Diseases Tango.

Well, look here, midst your underweighted babies
I could swear that I see some definite signs of rabies
But in the growing xenophobic hysteria
It could well be a case of dyptheria.

And those dribbly drops of pus
Gonorhhoea, it seems to us
As you dance to the Hideous Diseases tango.

Wasting away ? Another TB day !
Sc0tt M0rris0n’s here to say
“Take your Hepatitises away!”
And we’re sorry that we must leave ya
With just a touch of Chlamydia or Dengue fever
Dehydrate ?  Oh my, it’s important not to die
As you dance to the Hideous Diseases tango.

So take your partners and the underweighted kiddies
Cousins, nieces and hairy toothless biddies
To some sh1thole Malays1an hotel
You won’t notice the smell !
And you can dance to the Hideous Diseases tango!

As we fiddle the refugee Grand Total,
You can contemplate lice that are scrotal.
We’ll pretend to process your shonky application.
Feel grateful for the love of our great nation.
We might process your batch –
If you try not to scratch,
Just keep dancin’ the Hideous Diseases tango !

Ole !
