Mr. Speaker, as a result of the MPs-pages soccer game I must perform the following function:
My fellow MPs, it is a sad tale I tell Our page-MP soccer game did not go well Stop reading Quorum , put down your water Listen to me as I recount the slaughter.
Sprits were high, we were rarin' to go After all, we had won this two years in a row. But the pages were ready, and showed us no mercy, And raced 'cross the field in their bright orange jerseys.
They scored once in the first half and twice in the second, The pages were giving us more than we reckoned. We tried our best, but we were unprepared For once in our lives, we ran out of air.
They outran us, outpassed us, outscored us, it's true, So I guess it's high time that we gave them their due For the shutout, their goalie deserves all our praise And for their winning spirits, let's give them a raise.
