The Crossman Plan

The world's great age begins anew, As it was all arranged, And Friends of Progress guarantee _That nothing need be changed.

Responsive to the general will, We set the people free.

The Whips, one need not say, are on

In case they don't agree.

The House will meet at ten o'clock , Two mornings every week, `Mum nobody is there to hear And very few to speak.

The Usual Channels will decide What Members wish to say.

The Clerk will now proceed to read The Orders of the Day.
