1474

Budget

Apart from the one in London

They have a house in France

A home in Grindelwald

All big - so everyone can congregate.

On the day the poor were

Smashed, income decimated

And those without

Promised less.

How can I do this and not feel guilty?

How can I be giving up the fight?

While I am drinking Pimms and eating Salmon

The country's poor are sinking out of sight.

A   Budget which has ripped the heart from families

Who up to now have just about survived

But take away all benefit and succour

And how are any of them now to live?

But carryon! Don't worry for the people

The champagne dregs are bound to trickle down

Or better still if IT takes their places

We're shot of them for ever - thank the Lord.
