WAIAPU CUP.

We’re asked to make a change, my friends, To suit poor, dear old MaGsey, And truly I begin to think I Thai they are getting brasssv. Send Jimmy to tho Upper House I It’s for your good, you know, I And Darton, Wall or Clayton, To his seat in the House below. I To do it is quite simple, I As you can p'ainly see, I Just put in Liseant Clayton and you’ll have members three. Then you'll get roads and bridges, To each Bnd every door, With huge sums on the estimates Which you never got before. [ The railway to tho Moiu, Slowly drags itself along, Return Wall or Clayton, And then “ we shan’t be longj’ The native 1b qd we wifi cut up, And give to Jack and Jill, So now dear friends, its plain to see That Darton fills the Bill. But we’re not ‘ having any,’ Though they spread tho jam quite thick.

To our old and faituful member, Wb’re made up our minds to stick. We will not flinch or squirm, ' As it was said we would, Bui we’ll vot9 for Jimmy Carroll Tor we know it’s fjr our good. We do not say he’s perfect, No man was ever yet; (But we’ll stick to him until we can i A better Member get. We’ll fight the battle fair and square, And though the fight be keen, We will not strike below the belt, We would not be so mean. And when the ball is opened And the battle is begun, We’ll meet them at the polling booths With our pencil maxim gun. ' And when the race is over And the pay-out balls run up, We’ll find Carroll still the winner While Clayton drops the Cup. Jo, thank you, dear old Massey, We do not want you yet,' Vhen we’re tired of B. J. Meddoa, I ’ We will send fci you direot. . 1
