IT’S JAM TODAY!
3/10/18. At the Tory Party Conference, the PM,
Teresa May confirmed that Austerity was over.
Austerity has gone at last,
Said PM, Mrs May;
Not sometime in the future, folks,
From now it's jam today!
The NHS in one fell swoop,
Will update, never fear;
So if you need a dodgy op,
You might get one next year.
Our potholed roads will disappear,
Into six-million holes; (1)
To make them fit for use by all,
Fiesta driving proles.
And benefits will soar on high,
To all the unemployed;
So work now will be optional,
And something to avoid.
School classes will return to what,
They used to be before;
Around about some thirty kids,
Some squatting on the floor.
The Gig economy will fade,
The future won't be bleak;
Normality's come back at last,
The Fifty-hour week!
Food banks will be converted to;
Commercial banks to serve;
The needs of hungry businessmen,
With monetary hors d'oeuvre.
We know that the Free Market’s best,
That pure economy;
Where everything has its own price,
And nothing's ever free! (2)
(1) The latest statistics show 6.3 million potholes on Britain's roads.
(2) Except, of course, Surplus Value.
