The House Will Razoome
By
WHIM-WHAM
[His statement in the Christchurch East by-election that New Zealand did not owe a "brass razoo" to Britain as a debt for this war’s cost, was explained by the Minister of Public Works (the Hon. R. Semple), in the Budget debate this evening.-Newspaper report]. HE Brass Razoo Is Something new To me As Coin, or Currency; But I’m relieved to know I do not owe A single One, Nor have I run Up Millions of of DebtAt least, not yet. And since Razoos Are in the News, The Term will earn, I hope, A wider Scope: May we not dream Of some World Money Scheme, All Currencies replaced With one Brass Razoo-based, Exchanges all revised And Razoo-stabilised? I hold That All these Tricks with Gold Will do no good. I say it will be the Day When I can look the iae World in the Face, With no Debt dueNot even a Razoo!
