They pamper to our idleness and do what we once did
But you’d not get your sponge out now to earn their seven quid;
Through summer, winter, snow and rain they pocket what they can
The car wash boys with red-raw hands that come from Kurdistan.
Thanks, John, for a good poem with a nice, bouncy rhythm. Some of the conditions in these pop-up car washes are scandalous. As you say, we wouldn't want to do it.
I have to say, MC, they’ve got more gumption than our numpties simply by the fact that they’ve come here.
And thanks for the Like, Tim.
They'll probably be owning a car-wash soon enough if they
are committed enough to making the most of their good fortune
being here. Check America for some of the great success
stories of immigrants adapting/integrating and willing to do
what needed to be done to make progress back in the day
before the assumptions of "entitlement".
Thankyou, Uilleam. And thanks for the Likes, Greg, Carlton, Steve and Reggie’s Ghost.

There’s a wonderful irony, Stephen, that these “lazy good-for-nothing benefits immigrants” are making a living out of our indolence,
