Old Sarum At the by-election at Old Sarum
Everything was harum-scarum.
Pale people prefer pink pills, And the Labour candidate, Mr. Mills, Percipiently detected That, if more people voted for him than for any
of the others, he would infallibly be elected.
He indulged in some slapstick With the Liberal candidate, Mr. Capstick, And said that the postman .never knocks Twice on the Independent, Mr. Trevor Cox.
Hc put about a story That all Liberals would prefer him to the Tory
And that Lib and Lab, pulling together, could win
And Mr. Mills would be in.
But, sad to say, It didn't quite work out that way.
Weather permitting, There was a good deal of spitting But it isn't cricket To spit all round the wicket, And all it amounted to, When they were counted too.
Was that by a majority they,ha.d handed it To Mr. Hamilton, the Conservative candidate.
