Mr Speaker

Mr Speaker try, i'm about to die, there's cameras and reporters outside my gate, its seems i'm doomed an awful fate, they say i'm foolish, and been a fool, i only wanted a swimming pool, oh mr Speaker sing, and help me through this thing. Mr Speaker smile, help me for a while, its not been easy, and times are hard, i only wanted a duck pond for my back yard, designer cushions ,and a plug for my bath, i know it seem i'm having a laugh, oh mr Speaker shout, oh won't you help me out. Mr Speaker please, don't let them bring me to my knees, it was a bargain, it wasn't dear, i only wanted a chandelier, a packet of hobnobs, and furniture for my home, please don,t leave me all alone, oh mr Speaker fight, help me make it through the night. Mr Speaker stand, there must be justice in the land, they're trying to make me a scapegoat, i only wanted to clean my moat, iv'e made mistakes, and iv'e been short, only wanted a tennis court, mr Speaker yell, save me from this hell. Mr Speaker look, help me off the hook, oh Mr Speaker if you don't show, then mr Speaker it time to go, there's talk of swindle, evasion of tax, oh mr Speaker please don't wax, mr Speaker hear my song, ive done nothing wrong.

Mr. Speaker

Al,you have got this nailed! Of course there are crooked poloticians everywhere,but you seem to gotten the attitude of them[when they are caught]exactly right! I am assuming that Mr. Speaker is like an attorney of some sort? I will have to look it it up when I leave here. Great job Al. Keep on keepin' on. Gee.
