'The Ayes Have It' <br /> <br />Order, Order. Hush whilst we hear <br />The Honourable Gentleman from Tyne ad Wear. <br />He has an important observation to make <br />So please do be silent for everyone's sake: <br /> <br />Mr Deputy Speaker, I must ask the Prime Minster <br />Why has he no magic wand to administer? <br />A wave of the baton, we'd be well on our way. <br />State pensions could rise without further delay. <br />All men and women could receive MBEs <br />We could even give unemployed honorary degrees. <br />On the single currency, there would be no confusion, <br />No need for a referendum on monetary union. <br />Running our Health Service could become 'child's play' <br />We await his opinion ~~ for now I'll give way. <br /> <br />Order. Order. Please carry on Prime Minister: <br /> <br />I know in my position, I should have a wand <br />To use through 2009 and far far beyond. <br />Members could enjoy a grand spending spree. <br />The Conservatives should have used a wand in 1993. <br />A magic wand now could be real tough on crime <br />Adjust the interest rate - time after time; <br />Bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, <br />Mid-term blues flying out of the door. <br />Mr Deputy Speaker, before we came to power <br />The weather was kinder, just an occasional shower! <br />But under our Government the weather has changed <br />To high winds, black clouds and continual rain. <br />I have a feeling, we must act very soon. <br />If we could purchase a wand I'd be over the moon <br />Or can the House think up a better idea, <br />Such as Aladdin's Lamp? <br />If so please click here. I beg to move. <br /> <br />Order, Order. <br />In favour of a magic wand - say Aye <br />To the contrary - say No. <br />'The Ayes Have It!
