The more things change
The more they remain the same
People told to tighten their belts
But the Honourables un-tighten their own
Protruding tummies get fat allowance
The flat and empty ones fight for slim wages
‘How much do you earn our dear rep’?
‘Ask the senator, we don’t earn up to them’
’27 or 42 million…every quarter of the year?’
‘Our salaries remain the same’
‘Talk not of less a million a month…
‘Talk of millions that run into billions in loans’
‘These are running costs my friend’
‘The pressure we face back home is huge’
‘How exactly much do you people earn’?
Sealed lips
Secret slips
No one knows how much our lawmakers earn
