...loyal subject and obedient taxpayer, I would like to inquire of the sovereign who is footing the bill for the Grand Tour of the Duke and Duchess of McLean...

His alter ego, it seems, "slid into town one rainy night/ Runnin' like a dog away from a fight/ He had a pretty big mouth for a guy his size/ And everything he said was a pack of lies . . . Small Sam, chicken...
