Snouts In The
Trough
It’s good that we live in in a democracy,
With flags blazing and banners uncurled;
Here in the Mother of Parliaments -
An example we hold out to the world.
And we take this stuff damned seriously:
We’re not mere amateur hobbyists,
But now we’ve taken our eye off the ball,
And let in the canker of lobbyists.
But it takes two to tango they say,
Someone who needs a question to be asked,
And someone whose position is privileged,
With a streak of greed that’s thinly masked.
There’s a lack of transparency
In this access for cash
Their action is rash
Trying to look flash
As they sit in a sash
Making a huge mash
And principles into trash.
Where’s honesty and integrity gone?
Public service in office?
It’s gone down the abyss
They’re taking the piss
By behaving like this
Let’s give them a hiss
Tell them to kiss
Their cushy jobs good-bye.
Only hidden cameras and microphones
Have blown this thing open -
Insider access is a wheeze
They start with a tease
Then outline their fees
Soon acting with ease
They should be on their knees
Not slopping in grease
And wallowing in sleaze.
And to add insult to the injury,
By using these tools, they take us for fools,
And with faces all innocently turned,
Claim “I was only following the rules!”
