Who with politicians by some sharp ruse

Got nominated and elected against our views;

And when elected frame up bills

For legislation that their own pocket fills,

Regardless of the trouble and all the ills,

That fall upon the public that foots the bills.

New bureaus are made about everything

To which a gang of leaches can cling;

With their matrons, clerks and superintendents,

All hangers-on and their bunch of dependents,
