Financial Statement
The
chancellor stands to address the House,
Facing the
vehemently disinclined,
Self-righteous,
ambitious critics behind,
Knowing this
financial statement must douse
Any ambition
that needs might be met,
The reform
fallacy will be laid bare,
Once again,
the money is just not there,
No matter
the targets set and reset.
Then some
rogue state prepares to hinder trade,
Profits and
growth begin to be expunged
And around
the world stock markets have plunged,
Negating any
financial plans made.
The chancellor,
the statement completed,
Sits down
again, utterly defeated.
D. A.
