The MP’s lament
\nby cricketjeff on April 7, 2009.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nWe’re sitting here earning our pay
\nAnd everything’s looking OK
\nIt boggles the senses
\nTo say our expenses
\nAren’t modest in every way<\/p>\n
We work forty weeks every year
\nWe mumble and then shout “HERE HERE”
\nThe pay’s compensating
\nFor all this debating
\nThe value is certainly clear<\/p>\n
The public don’t know how we’re stressing
\nTo earn the prime minister’s blessing
\nIt’s not really fair
\nTo say we don’t care
\nAnd checking our deeds is distressing<\/p>\n
Now don’t go and look at the news
\nIt’s bound to pollute all your views
\nYou know we’re not shirking
\nBut busily working
\nOn loopholes that we can still use!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
