I’m a newly-fledged M.P.,
The House is met, so kindly let
Me take my seat,” saith he.
He holds him with his trembling hand.
“There was a bird—” quoth he.
“I say, hold hard! Just drop my guard!”
He droppeth it instantlee.
He holds him with his watery eye,
The new M.P. stands still,
And listens like a man much bored;
