The Tale of Brave Sir Stephen

I acknowledge deep input from years of watching Monty Python and wanting to usurp their talents.

Bravely bold Sir Stephen
Rode forth from Calgary.
He was not afraid to lead,
Oh brave Sir Stephen.
He was not at all afraid
To legislate in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Stephen.

He was not in the least bit scared
To have his budget quashed,
Or to have his members shout,
And his ministers all broken.
To have his caucus split
And his votes all burned away,
And his quotes all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Stephen.

His agenda smashed in
And his initiatives cut out
And his government removed
And his microphone unplugged
And his conversations taped
And his trustworthiness burnt off
And his pen--

"That's... that's enough music for now lads,
*** there's dirty work afoot*** ???."

Brave Sir Stephen ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("no!")
Yes, brave Sir Stephen turned about
("I didn't!")
And gallantly he prorogued out.

****Bravely**** taking ("I never did!") to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat. ("all lies!")
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Stephen! ("I never!")
