Labour Government

Please read this to the tune of 'Mr President (Have Pity on the Working Man)' by Randy Newman (Not quite a poem but I was listening to that song when this came to me).

 

You give to the rich, you take from the poor,

We’re slowly starving but you still want more,

Labour Government, have pity on the working man.

_________________________

The price of groceries are on the rise,

You get expenses for all you buy,

Labour Government, have pity on the working man.

_________________________

I don't know if you think it's funny,

With people everywhere running out of money

We can't even seem to heat our house

 _________________________

The cost of living is growing higher,

We’re now learning you’re a big fat liar,

Labour Government, have pity on the working man.

 _________________________

You've raised our taxes, our savings are flat

Our Pensions mean nothing but you're still getting fat

Maybe you only think about yourself

 _________________________

Too late to run, too late to cry now,

By next election we’ll be saying goodbye now,

Labour Government, get the hell out of Number 10,

Labour Government, get the hell out of Number 10.
