Look Darling

"Look Darling!" An advert in The Mail Only one pound It looks pretty sound They will feed a child for us in Africa, How wonderful and what a plus ! Forget about Cameron's talks of plenty We may not live 'til 2020 I vote we give our money away One pound won't dent Four million homeless kids that are bent. They have never known better So why should they get it They will squander it so It's an awful blow To me as a taxpayer I really want to be a sayer. Ignore them, they are dead What I cannot see I won't feel My parents always provided for me It's the lot of them can't do it I say And history will prove it any day Let's go Darling and hit the sack We don't need to cut them any slack I know it's right that we share our wealth But just a little to the needy, There's no one else !
