A VERY TALL CHRISTMAS TALE!
A Guardian correspondent suggested sending all
the so-called ‘wealth-creators’ to a desert island
to see how much wealth they could actually create
T’was Christmas Day in the workhouse,
The usual daily farce;
The bosses doing all the work,
Whilst staff sat on their arse!
“How great”, cried all the workers,
That bosses produce the wealth;
“Not only do they pay us,
We get free National Health”!
“How very true”, said worker Bert,
“It’s good”, said worker Fred;
“That bosses invest all their money,
Whilst we just lie in bed”.
“I wonder why they do it”?
In turn retorted Bert;
“It can’t be just the profit,
Because that’s not a cert”.
“It must be out of goodness”,
Said a third worker, Bill;
“They know us workers are lazy,
And working makes us ill”.
So Bert and Fred and others,
And even sceptic Bill;
Retired for good and let each boss,
Create precisely ‘N_ _’!
