- . (Inspired by William Wallace. Dedicated to our Parliament). Soon our Parliament will meet, Son of mine. Can Mackenzie keep the seat, Son of mine? Or will Massey win the race, Oust Mackenzie from his place, Ward and Millar both efface? Son of mine. Commissions there are sitting now, Son of mine, Taking notes—no matter how— Son of mine. Cost of , living, cost of learning, Are the public servants earning More or less. For needs we’re yearning, Son of mine. Shall we get enough to eat. Son of mine, With our million loans to meet, Sou of mine. What the cost is to redeem Is a controversial theme. Things are seldom what they seem, Whether times be good or ill. Son of mine. You will surely foot the bill, Some things make the angels weep, Other things can safely keep. ~, Lay your little head to sleep, Son of mine.
