Coleman compljkuita ed in the House recently' ; ; he described as a against Labour, and snid At AviiV paT- v t ticu!arly noticeable in .."the Bay of Plenty. Jf you whisper around That you think you have found A good reason for not voting Labour, You bad better take care What you say or declare, Or they’ll tell you you’re not a good neighbour. Mr Coleman (AL.P.) Told the House, d’you see. That a whispering campaign was growing. . . . He thinks it is rude Lor the typo he calls “dude” To decry him without his first knowing, New the picture he drew Showed a scandalous crew With their fingers field up to their lips, Making sly little jokes About Government folks And abusing their rule with low quips. He says that they go To each door in the row To disseminate lies to each other; (All types are to blame, Both the man and his dame And his daughter, his soil and j mother). I Imagine the scene—it is calm and serene, j Until all of a sudden it varies, . j With whispers intense, | llising up like incense* v * i From the cauldrons of ill-disposed > fairies. >, .[ want to find out That it all is about But I can’t find one whispering Willie; And if you ask me, Mr Coleman ALP., Has a bee in liis bonnet. . . ► it’s silly. *
