I am told these men are the salt of the earth      (I cannot testify to their salinity,
     all I can see is they scratch their genitals).
Some may be worse, none can be more disgusting.
     Guttural bucolics ham-philosophise,
     the gormless spout politics 'Them MPs
is thick as shit, thick as shit them MPs.'
What a salient citation.
