Reference :- The typewriters are clicking furiously here at the Sky Reply . We might run out of ribbon .

 Reference :-   And it's not just the clicking that is furious . 


As the senior editor of the Sky Reply , I find I must curb the anger of the Sky Reply Team as they respond to recent events .  The last thing we need is the anti- terrorist squad banging on our door . 

I mentioned this to the team . 

" Cool it lads , the last thing we need is the anti-terrorist squad banging on our door ." , I said . 

 " They can't get here because of the floods .",  Ken junior said . 

 " Nothing we type is untrue .",  Monte said . 

 " They just lost their case after arresting Kristo Langker . " ,  Gabbo said .  

"  But he had massive crowd funding to pay his lawyers . "  , I said 

(  To remind everybody , Kristo had been arrested by the NSW anti -terrorist squad for asking the  deputy premiere of NSW ......now retired in disgrace ......an awkward question . )

 After a cuppa , everybody settled down a bit  . It seems that the latest Sky News presentation by young Chris Kenny had caused the consternation . That, and the delayed response of the PM to the flood disaster. 

It is said that one must always look for the bright side in any situation , hard to find though it can be . 

I must admit that during Chris Kenny's interview with Shadow Emergency Minister , Murray Watt , young Chris was so hostile and vindictive that he became laughably irrational .  But on the bright side , his interview received  an equally laughable 45 thumbs up from viewers , on the day , so hardly anybody saw him make a belligerent fool of himself .

Schopenhauer could have written a book about the idiocy of Chris Kenny's arguments , best highlighted by his closing remark , paraphrased below . 

"  By pointing out that people are unhappy with the federal response to the flood I worry that you are just making the situation worse " .  

  " What 'situation ' does he mean ? " ,  Ken junior said 

 " Scott Morrison's rapidly declining credibilty . " , Gabbo said  

Anyway , we changed the subject by tearing open some more of the many entries in the limerick competition that have been sent to us from around the world  , and decided that another deserves to be on the short list .  It was a bit soggy and the ink had run , making it hard to read , but that did lend a certain pathos , so we decided to include it . 

                                          Morrison Lets Us Down Again ,   by anon  . 

    

                               Finally he's seen the urgency ,

                               Of declaring a state of emergency , 

                               But it wasn't the flood , 

                              Or the oceans of mud , 

                              It was fear of a Labor insurgency .  


Your comrade , Ken
