What To Do Do About Those Under the Table

What to do about those under the table? When those paying them are unable, And have gone back to their scrabble. Should we be worried they might become unstable, When a constable is to us unreachable. If an amnesty was the solution most suitable, Would they deem that call trustable? Doing nothing would runs risks considerable, As desperate people become unreasonable, And could make decisions that were once to them unthinkable. Have we any room in our hearts for those now playing scrabble, To see their actions as forgivable, When they made some legitimate businesses unprofitable. Then there are the businesses who took money under the table, That is never counted as taxable, And now can't be counted when loss of income is considerable, Requiring a handout from those who deem it despicable. Maybe compassion is the only thing thinkable, With crumbs no longer falling from the table, And we can leave accountability, To a time when the situation is more favourable, And our actions more reasonable, With those now playing scrabble, Or making a living under the table, More likely to be amiable, To a life that is sustainable.
