Huge bonuses go

to those who screw it all up

causing vast bail-outs.

They say we must pay

to keep the top people in.

Making top losses!

Coalition tried

To save the country money

With massive job cuts.

Loss of income tax,

Paid more dole, had to borrow

More than Labour had.

Fewer consumers

To help the economy.

Did they really save?

Government announced

They’re cutting jobs, increasing

Our unemployment.

Folks on benefits

Must go on out and get jobs.

What jobs exactly?

In pain or work-shy,

Who will want to employ them?

When there’s so much choice?

Wonder what planet

Our prime minister is on,

It sure ain’t this one!

Multi-talented,

He played many instruments,

Sang, danced and acted.

In spite of all this,

He was much better known as

A comedian.

He reached ninety-five,

We still have his slapstick films,

Rest in peace, Norman.
