“Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept.

Books from Boots’ and country lanes,
Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
Democracy and proper drains.”

Keeping all the Kerry men
Out of that crazy fight;
That he might be there himself
Had travelled half the night.
