Lawrence Hall
Dispatches for the Colonial Office
That Old Loudmouth at Every Meeting
You know him well, that untucked-shirttail old man
Booming his gassy voice at every meeting
Whatever the topic he leads the van
Interrupting with his self-obsessed bleating
He was a banker, he tells us repeatedly
He knows about finance, more than the treasurer
And he was a cop, too, he yells out heatedly
And arguing the reports gives him much pleasurer
You know him well, that untucked-shirttail old gent
He doesn’t know Jacques Merde, but he will always vent!
(He’s not unlike our current president)
