Making Allowances -2009 A polemical parody  

 

‘Ave you ’erd of this expenses row?

Eh , it’s enough to put you off yer brew!

An M.P. claimed and took our hard-earned cash

To put two seats upon his loo.!

Though they say he gobbles so much chow,

For him, two arse-holes wouldn’t do!

 

 

Then that lady down in London, she got subbed

To cure her home of bad dry rot!

But the home she meant, was in another town

‘My partner’s place , she said, ‘I just forgot.

His love is the wind beneath my  wings, she blubbed,

Because to me he just won’t trot!’

 

The nation howls, its knickers in a twist,

 On Britain’s face there sits a sour cob,

“ You M.P.’s enjoy extras we can’t afford!” the people cry!

We elected you to legislate, we didn’t think you’d rob!

Your expenses have made our democracy  a loss!

But bomb children in Afghanistan, if you insist,

We’ll allow you that, in fact, we couldn’t give a toss!”
