Much money

Today I got my increment

It’s annually inclement

I got my increment and so

To the shops I now will go

 

It’s only just  ten pence a week

My finances do look very bleak

But it will pay  for my cat’s tea

When I take him out on Saturday.

 

The bank manager was inclement

I blame it  on his temperament

Some  people have a stormy way

Of getting other folk to pay.

 

An increment is very small

It may  even seem like naught at all

But depending on its frequency

It may add up to big money.

 

Inclement are this government

In increasing the poor folks’ rent

True freedom is perception

And so this government has none.

 

Oh,woe is me and woe is thee

Let’s brew ourselves a cup of tea.

We’ll play some songs and dance a bit

Make some jokes and use our wits.
