By The Bard of Duckworth
A single malt Scotch would tally Finance
A Port wine to medicate Health
Vodka will grapple with Justice
Perhaps a Dry Gin to ponder Education,
Certainly, a Crème de Menthe to preserve the Environment
A London Dock would moor Transportation
A Bourbon for the rigors of Natural Resources
Economic Development would demand Brandy for stimulation
And the administration of Social Services would require a Benedictine,
Rye whiskey would nourish Agriculture
A Black Rum to cure the Fisheries
And a Grand Marnier to posture as Premier,
These would be the constituents of the ideal Cabinet
And somewhere in the House
Would be a 40 ouncer of Screech
To inspire the Speaker,
Of course, a selection of external mixers
Would make themselves available
To assert various flavors to taste,
Regular MHA’s, when acknowledged, would BYOB
Beyond doubt, the Cabinet would be kept in the shed
Under lock and key
Hardly ever seen inside the House,
There would not be a drop of sober second thought in this regard
