Austerity Circles
The last
time a party fell from office,
It found
itself very quickly being blamed,
As the new
government loudly declaimed
Details of
the national debt and the price
Of a
necessary austerity;
So obvious,
everyone must surely see
How the
previous crew incompetently
Managed to
crash the economy.
Now though,
with new hands on the fiscal reins,
The
Chancellor sombrely explains
A policy of
tightened purse strings, pain
That might
look like austerity again.
Only, it’s
not, in any shape or sense,
Rather, it
is the return of prudence.
D. A.
