That you’ll find your indignation—as you’ve oft before found out—
Is in vain, Tory Leader, is in vain!”
Said the Old Tory Leader to the Young Tory Leader,
“But think, Tory Leader, what you said!”
Said the Young Tory Leader to the Old Tory Leader,
“If my speech, Tory Leader, you have read,
You will know that I objected at more robbery to wink,
Or to let more public money in the City quagmire sink;
That, in short, I told the ‘Bumbles’ just exactly what I think—
So its not a bit of use to shake your head!”
