The Speaker spoke to house at last,
On Clerk and Sergeant. All aghast.
At dipping into people’s purse,
Lavish spending, sinful curse.
Machine for splitting wood was got,
High-end Scotch by case was bought.
Well-appointed suits and hat,
Dishing out our cash like that.
Entitlement has run amok,
Is it service or the buck?
Albert Reeve, Gibsons
