Six Days of Christmas

Six Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas my MP had for free:
A partridge with all the trimmings. 
It didn’t come from Aldi

On the second day of Christmas my MP had on me:
Two vintage Champagnes, a partridge with all the trimmings
And nothing came from Aldi

On the third day of Christmas my MP had on me: 
Three Harrod’s Hampers, two vintage Champagnes, 
A partridge with all the trimmings
And nothing came from Aldi.

On the fourth day of Christmas my MP had on me: 
Four new suits, three Harrod’s hampers, two vintage champagnes
A partridge with all the trimmings,
And nothing came from Aldi

On the fifth day of Christmas my MP had on me: 
Five houses rent free!! four new suits, three Harrod’s hampers, 
Two vintage Champagnes, a partridge with all the trimmings 
And nothing came from Aldi.

On the sixth day of Christmas the MPs did to me: 
Lied through their teeth
Raised inheritance tax, 
Froze all the pensioners,
Put thousands out of work
Crippled the economy
Cancelled local elections
Gave 50 million to terrorists
While I ate a sandwich from Aldi.
