"THE WRATH OF P SEDDOM PARTY. 1 ' A member of our Parliament said the Government had to >be careful how it went on account of its fear of "The Wrath of the Seddon Party." Let the tin-cans can, and the bagpipes squeal. • •Let "the steamers tramp and the motors wheel. • Let the smoke-stacks smoke and the anvils clane. ■ . Let the bells ding-dong; and the guns •: boom bang. "The Wrath of the Seddon Party". is raised— Oh, ye Gods have mercy ! Ye Gods be praised ! . The elements four will disintegrate, When the "Seddon Party" begins to prate. Oh. ' Caesar, rise froni the gloom of the tomb, . And gird on thy sword and comb out thy plume. Take down they shield, and preparo for the fray— The wrathful Seddonites are out to -flay. • ■■■■>•■■ ; Grim Satan call all thy legions to arms— ■-..■■'■ The wrath of the Seddonites gives us alarmsSend forth thine Herald, with trumpetJ and bell, ; For the Seddons are out to capture bell. Peter, the guardian of fortune and fate, Double the watch on the Heavenly gate ! Join all thy forces with Satan's below. When the Seddons' fierce wrath begins to flow. There's .their . sturdy Knight, Sir Hironsarid Smith. , And Chairman MacKenzie, all pulp and. pith. There's Ashburton's Rep., and tough Billy Wood, And a host of other not quite so , good. •■■.-. There's Wilford the warlike, and Baume the sly fox. Who'll soon be m the Opposition box. There's Major the prater, and young Tom, too, And Dick a chip of the old block true. Then Jane herself/is n. powerful aid, Like Boaidicea she- can wield a blade. So look out for the Seddon Party's wrath, When the basket of eggs they beat to froth. Let the canners can, and the pipers pipe; Let the v steamers steam, and the typists type. Let iis knwl and pray— man, woman, and child— That "The Seddon Party" may n<jfc get wild. SCOOT SPRUIT.
