The Mp and the Gardener
The MP and the Gardener
She works for an M.P. who claims expenses
Gardener cuts grass, digs ponds and mends fences
The MP gets much more than he really needs
The gardener digs a hole lovingly plants seeds
The MP self isolates in a multi bed house
The gardener is starving living hand to mouth
The MP’s are saying we’re in it together
The gardener’s skint at the end of his tether
MP gets ten grand for laptops to work at home
The gardener starving so he takes a bank loan
Promises, promises were giving you a grant
You won’t actually get it, but it’s pointless to rant
Now if your self-employed we’ll promise more
But the money never leaves, the chancellor’s door
The MP eats steak and sips a glass of champagne
The gardener’s family’s cracking under the strain
The MP’s secretary. forced to use a laptop's screen
The gardener loses his house, but the grass is green
