Not part of a set known as Peter's pawns. :p

Who secretly drank in the ossy con

There was a council leader called Peter,
whom his enemy branded a cheater.

he suffered a fall in a poll,
and now there's nothing he can do but to beat her.

Because of a yearning for snow.

For Accrington guys,
It's Holland's meat pies,
And hot little bits of black puddin'.
But Canucks eat poutine, and hunks of bloudin,
And slabs of tortierre with their fries.
