It is truly as lucid as lucid can be	A
It is plain as the nose on your face	B
Though the tactics may be a disgrace don't you see	A
The tactician is not a disgrace	B
He may wobble and swerve and crayfish and curve	C
It is all of it part of the game	D
But you mustn't say 'Wobbler ' for prithee observe	C
That the meaning is not quite the same	D
	-
	-
One might carry this argument ever so far	E
There is not the least good in denying	F
That though a man's talk may be lies you must baulk	F
At describing the talker as 'lying '	-
His work may be slow but it's nonsense you know	G
To declare that the man's a 'slow worker '	-
And it he should shirk in the House all his work	F
'Twould be foolish to call him a 'shirker '	-
	-
	-
In quoting such things one could fill up a ream	H
It is so to the end of the chatter	I
A man who adapts his adversary's scheme	H
He need never be called an 'adapter '	-
And if he should fuse it is not the least use	J
To describe him as being a 'Fuser '	-
Such a use of the word is distinctly absurd	K
And would earn but contempt for the user	I
	-
	-
For a statesman's a statesman right on to the end	L
Never mind what his actions resemble	M
He may bargain and palter and stumble and falter	I
And wheedle and scheme and dissemble	M
But observe these are acts and though probably facts	N
That would earn for the mere politician	O
A horrible name it is not quite the same	D
When applied to a master tactician	O
	-
	-
And so you electors when chewing the ended	P
Of reflection attend to this study	A
And observe though a member may meddle with mud	P
He in not of necessity muddy	A
Though he turns like a weathercock ten ways at once	Q
Till you never know which way he's leaning	F
To call him a weathercock proves you a dunce	Q
For it has quite a different meaning	F
