A somewhat similar American parody will be found on [page 128].
The Home Secretary’s Song.
“It is announced this morning that ‘the Home Secretary will address a meeting of his constituents in the Birmingham Town Hall on Monday next. On Tuesday he will open the new premises of the Aston Conservative Club, and on Wednesday attend ward meetings in the division he represents.’ The following song has, we understand, been expressly written for the Minister’s use on this occasion.”
Henceforth all the crimes that I find in the Times,
I vow I’ll investigate daily;
For ignorance crass, like I showed to Miss Cass,
Makes life go by not at all gaily;
No kudos receiving for Lipski’s reprieving,
