And his supporter*. where were they ? He was deserted in a shameful way; And theu his plan Of reading the Bible, so noted for Its originality, to l>e only voted for By " the good young man.” I would ask the astute WairaraiMt* member When the Premier is speaking, to remember That " fair play's a jewell For although he has a good broad back. Do you think it is (air the doughtv " Mac " Thus to Crew-el. So the Opposition's Head was sore It seemed, when he sprang uj>on the floor, To call up to the Bar All those who had slighted his smallest joke— Tile odious doggrel writing bloke. And the Editor of the Stao. When Pahiatua indulges in iniuie and feeding. See that the " Chairman " shows belter breeding Than his guests to slight: After trying to please yen w ith their songs, A vote of thanks to them belongs. It is their right. So you've gone in for the luxury of a | lawyer, Aud are soon to have a good bone- | sawyer. Then for a Parson ; And soon to have all right and nobby. Get a good upstanding Irish bobbv. In cose of arson. The " Union's" members are for a spell, Take my tin for it, 'ti* just as well They should have a rest. To regain their wind, and exhausted breath. After w orrving the Speaker almost to death, 'Ti* all for the best. Take rare of vourseivea meantime dear buys. I know one who is thinking of nuptial I joy*. To have his shore ; Wln-n again you meet to mangle a bill. 1 will make a fresh Up to lUI quill. And meet you there. Tau Hot.
