Starvation nation

Are you worried that you’ll suffer starvation?

Are you one of the poor of our nation?

There is pi in the sky

God only knows why

Mathematics is no good for emotion.

At the end of the month we were short

Our money had got very taut

Instead of a roast

We tried baked frogs on toast

Now we’re both feeling stunned and  remote

I can’t say I love a red pepper

And my husband prefers unsmoked kippers

But we all have to eat

Try cows heels or their feet

And just keep your lip a bit stiffer.

I am glad I can pay income tax

When I have paid it I love to relax.

So I must go out to work

I’m an MP, see me smirk

I won’t up your tax that’s a fact
