All In It Together

O the chancellor of the exchequer Seems to think that we’re all Boris Becker And under the bed of which little is said A big bag of cash and there’s more in the shed Does he live on a different planet Is his brain made of marble or granite He’s not said it yet, but it’s a sure bet He’ll follow the lead of Marie Antoinette If the price of our milk is insane He’ll say we should all drink champagne He’ll then stipulate, for sanity’s sake, If bread’s too expensive, why don’t we eat cake I phoned him and told him we’ll be skint forever And then he said this, which he thought was quite clever We could help ourselves out by quite an amount And take some cash from our Mumbai bank account

Strangely, Paula, we’re finding a lot more empty shelves… maybe we’ll follow Zimbabwe’s lead and a loaf of bread will be £500. Terry

I think you told it like it is. We have similar problems here in the ol' US of A, Terry.

It’s a bit mad when the bloke with his eye on all of our housekeeping budgets is a multi millionaire who probably thinks poverty means only having one yacht. Cheers, Milt. Terry

I can’t believe he’s done precisely zero with Regard to election bribes. Still, when your main opponent is that sour faced captain hindsight, I guess there’s no need. Hope to be back more regularly soon. Terry
