1%
The premier and his cabinet gathered
Weekly, sober-suited and applauded,
National Health Service workers they lauded,
“Heroes of the NHS!” they blathered:
Then, soon as they could, showed their true intent.
In gratitude for not being unemployed
Hospital staff should all be overjoyed,
Receiving a rise of a whole one percent.
Meanwhile, two members of the family firm,
Hard pressed and harassed multi-millionaires,
Revealed the depths of their tragic affairs,
How the nasty media made them both squirm.
Nurses, don’t fall for the clap-trap, resent
That you’re being cast with the wrong one percent.
D. A.
