  1. In making my final selection,
    For any Political Section,
    I read with surprise,
    The large pack of lies,
    They publish about this election.
    Old Cosgrave makes speeches and says,
    He'll finish the war in tree days,
    He's given a promise,
    To beat Jimmie Thomas,
    In many and various ways.
    He says we'll have peace, perfect peace,
    No more Politicians will fleece,
    The hard-working farmer,
    Whose days will be calmer,
    When rents, rates, and taxes shall cease.
    And Devvie says nothing we owe,
    To England, so why should we go,
    And pay the Annuities,
    And other gratuities,
    To John Bull and Tomas and Co?
    We'll keep all that cash in Suspense
