Thirty two seconds

Ninety grand becomes forty
Then reduces down to five
After MPs had their input
Her bank balance will thrive

Evidence incomplete
And obstructive to boot
Do the rules not apply then
To a Minister in a suit

A mere thirty two seconds
To try and bring and end to your mess
Such a paltry apology
Could you have done any less
Only just half a minute
Is this some sort of joke
Seems the MP's expenses system
Is still very broke

If this was Joe Public civil servant
They'd be fired on the spot
Again the rules are quite different
If you're a big shot

Then the aid mentions Leveson
A call that leaves not a doubt
"So I am just going to flag up that connection for you to think about."

A mere thirty two seconds
To try and bring and end to your mess
Such a paltry apology
Could you have done any less
Only just half a minute
Is this some sort of joke
Seems the MP's expenses system
Is still very broke

So, Dave, what do you do
With a problem called Maria
Let's be clear on this issue
'Cause you have no idea

Because if all we are worth
Is a thirty second reparation
Then, Dave, like your Minister
It's time for your resignation
