A brief ditty on the Palace of Westminster

Knocked this up in half an hour or so - I was listening to the inimitable Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" song.
Needs the rough edges knocking off it but it's a start; more verses to be added if the muse takes me (ooh Matron!)

There's lobbying and bullying and thieving and there's avarice
There's haegemonies empire building little hitlers, cowardice
There's back-stabbing and dirty deeds and people filling dirty needs
and money changing hands behind the doors within the palace.

There's blockheads and there's dunderheads and absolute stupidity
There's fawning and there's toadying and out and out vapidity
There's members building empires and there's some with mansions in the shires
and some who make you gasp aloud with stagg'ring vacuosity

There's squabbling, fighting, name-calling and acts which bring opprobium
There's internecine plots which cause a modicum of odium
There's nose-pickers and lardy-arsed old poofs who'll try to make a pass
and orators who never can be dragged from off the podium

There's some who's progeny don't know by which sod they've been fathered
There's some who only want your cash so their nest can be feathered
And those who have no spinal nerve and salaries they don't deserve
and that's as much as I can do - I really can't be bothered
