An Ode to the tenant of Premier house

"Home is where the heart is
A great announcement is to be made.
Trumpets blare and emeralds glitter
As King Luxon the Aspirational
Strides purposefully into his media conference.
A lone scribe from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Sits in row ten.
“I have a dream!” Pronounces the King.
“No longer will the shagpile carpet be threadbare,
No longer shall the weatherboards flake paint!
No longer shall disenfranchised young families
Struggle with outmoded entertainment systems!
No longer shall children shiver
In cold and mouldy bedrooms!
No longer will Christmas entertaining
Be a sub-par experience for in-laws!
No longer will we have to stare
At tired 1980s Laura Ashley wallpaper!
No longer will we be condemned to co-habit
Ten to a room in disreputable neighbourhoods!
Change is coming to the Kingdom! Lo!
We are entitled to something better
Than these mean and degrading hovels!”
The lone media scribe shouts from the distance.
“O King! Does this mean a Royal Initiative
Of building new hovels for the people?”
The King stares quizzically.
“Who said anything about the people?”
Replies the monarch,
“I’m talking about me.”
