Patriotic Retirement Plan

Giving billions of pounds to banks that just squander Sharing bonuses and gifts, as they internally launder To Mr Cameron, an alleged Prime Minister for the people You work for us, do your job right, climb our steeple Currently in our workforce, there are ten million or more Aged over fifty, by the score, by the score Pay them all a million, let's call it severance pay Retire them early, ten million jobs now in play With their monies they must buy, a brand new fancy car Ten million cars ordered, a motor industry to travel far A house they must buy, or a mortgage to pay off A dying housing crisis sorted, no builders will scoff To their kids who have become idle, youthful travesty No excuses now, to schools, college or universities So many kids will be removed, no hanging about our streets Education being their answer, crime fixed, the ultimate treat Buying fuel for their new cars, purchasing a few bottles of wine Their taxes and expenditure, will leave the economy fine What the tax payer has laid out, as they internally launder Whom we have voted in, do your job, we'll grow fonder Adapted from an email I received at work today.

This piece is about the bailing out of troubled banks, when the government monies they gave would have been better spent giving to so many people whom would spend it boosting the economy - James :)
