P'raps, like Washington, they cannot tell a lie,
And gossip is excluded from their talk;
P'raps with them a thing of course is that beef isn't made of horses,
And the milkmen haven't even heard of chalk!
Only fancy, &c.
Perhaps they've no occasion for police,
Though they may keep just a few to spoon the cooks;
If they do, no doubt they're wary whom they make Home Secretary,
And the Chief Commissioner's chosen for his looks.
Very likely, if they ever play a farce,
