SMALL, SELECT PARTY

(By

WHIM WHAM)

I’m going to form a Party. Sir, can I count on You? If the Thought isn’t highly original, It’s the Best that I can do. I call It the Home Truth Party For want of a better Name. Now, why do I call it That, Sir? And what’s my clever Game? Come to the Party Conference, You’ll hear the Reasons there, It’s cold, with the Windows open, But it circulates the Air. You’ll find Me in the Chair, there, I can’t say how many More of Us, You and I and our Wives could make A Quorum, just the Four of Us. Ask Me about the Future, How will the Markets go? The Home Truth Party’s candid Word Is, 'Honestly, We don’t know’. What is our best Defence, Sir* The Force we have, or Double? The Home Truth Party’s Policy Is, 'Keeping out of Trouble’. Ask me about South Africa? Now, isn’t it kind, I’ll say, Of Mister Prime Minister Vorster To LET the Maoris play! Ask me about Employment? I’ll speak the Home Truth out, ‘FULL Employment was just about All We had, worth bragging about*. Ask me about our Chances Of sweeping the Polls next Year? 'Good Heavens, Sir, NONE WHATEVER! Haven’t I made That clear?*
