they seek
a permanent seat
one that will allow them
to stay on the taxpayer's treat
on government and opposition benches
they do enjoy sitting
yet they care not
for the pockets they're hitting
few do much while in parliament
but they do keep
accruing monies
as if it were
a lifetime entitlement
the vocation
of being a politician
is similar to
an adding up mathematician
on the day they do retire
the paying out by treasury
doesn't expire
off the public purse
they'll not be weaned
for it is
an unending river
of cream
