SUNNY AFTERNOON

entry picture

 

The taxman won’t come for your dough

We’ll leave untouched your stash to grow

In Swiss accounts your savings are immune;

The Honkers and the Shankers Bank

Protects its patrons so say, “Thanks”

And laze away your Sunny Afternoons;

So bank with HSBC

Tax evasion, certainly

But we won’t mind if you’re a rich tycoon;

But woe betide you scuzzie shits

Who are claiming benefits

We’ll be on your case and very soon.

Save me, save me from hypocrisy

There’s rules for them and rules for you and me;

Invest your cash efficiently

Forget about HMRC

And laze away your Sunny Afternoons.

In Switzerland.

 

The Inland Revenue’s been lax

Lets you off your income tax

Colluding with the HSBC bankers;

So just count your gains

While you sip those fine champagnes

Courtesy of Cameron’s Tory Wankers;

Save me, save me from hypocrisy

There’s rules for them and rules for you and me;

So fill your tax return on time

Send it in or risk a fine

Don’t laze around on Sunny Afternoons,

Unless you bank

Your millions

With HSBC

In Switzerland.

Indeed Philip. I do a mean line in smug myself but this lot take the biscuit.

Thanks, Lynn. I don't profess to agree with all the views of any of the parties - I'm more of a maverick, considering each issue as it arises. I get criticised by both Left and Right (which is how I like it). But this I find disgraceful.

Ha ha, love it, John. Very topical, and as MC says, extremely sharp. Thanks for sharing.

It seems Franklin was wrong about death and taxes, MC.

Sharp as a tack - and "singularly" so! No kinks
in these lines.
Well up to your usual standard, JC.
