With the expenses claims scandal sweeping Parliament, I couldn’t resist adding to the tempo with a lighter side, although I don’t know whether MPs will like it much.

The voters point accusing fingers at you,

“Who, Me Guilty?” the MP replies 

most of the house only minus a few

but you can never hide lying eyes

*************

A legitimate claim for an island for ducks.

and one to buy luxury funiture for their house

so they can have thousands of extra bucks

while in the seats of Parliament there they sat

*************

Reform from a Prime minister that wasn’t elected 

Is this the true socialism showing through

bending the out of date rules as expected.

just handed down from another that is true

*************

The depressing opposition not escaping unscathed

but easing out unscrupulous members at least

At the next election this government will not be saved

even from a church riddled with homosexual priest

*************

Since the Archbishop of Canterbury has entered the frame

asking people to go easy on the MPs who have abused

the public’s trust in our Government which is a shame

he then says they have wronged and leaves us confused

*************

“Forgive them that trespass against us.”

As in the bible, the Lord’s prayer says

and many MPS ask “what is the Fuss?

We’re alright as long as the public pays”

************

Some maybe grinning and smiling now

some may feel jitters to face prosecution

But no matter there is going to be a row

the arrogant ones will face persecution

*************

The End

    It’s the same in the States, Tim. The politicians stuff in loads of “pork” and “special interest” giveaways at the 11th hour before they vote, then when questioned, point fingers at each other about who’s worse than whom.
