Government muddles, departments dazed, / Fear and confusion wherever he gazed; / Order insulted, authority spurned, / Dread and distraction wherever he turned -- / Oh, the great King Splosh was a sad, sore king, / With never a statesman to straighten the thing.
Glus all importunate urging their claims, / With selfish intent and ulterior aims, / Glugs with petitions for this and for that, / Standing ten-deep on the royal door-mat, / Raging when nobody answered their ring -- / Oh, the great King Splosh was a careworn king.
