The Honourable Members!

\nFour thousand a week for the pair
\nSo little complaining’s unfair
\nIf not for expenses
\nAnd counting the pences
\nThey’d not have a fortune to spare<\/p>\n
A sister who’s got a spare room
\nWould languish around in the gloom
\nBut Jaqui’s a smarty
\nThe toast of her party
\nHer family fortunes go zoom!<\/p>\n
When porns on the box you must pay
\nThat’s not a politico’s way
\nWe’ll pick up the ticket
\nThere’s no sticky wicket
\nMPs always think they’re OK<\/p>\n
Hypocrisy’s not such a crime
\nThe press do it all of the time
\nIf we’re disaffected
\nThey’re not re-elected
\nThe pension is simply sublime!!!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nBritish Home Secretary Jacqui Smith’s husband, employed at her office on 40,000
\npounds per year at tax-payer’s expense, has been caught hiring porno movies and
\nalso putting them on tax-payer’s expense. Let’s have some verses to commemorate
\nthis statesmanlike behaviour. I think limericks would be most suitable, but
\nanything that works will do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
