money flow

Switching on the money tap

let the money flow

straight into the rich man’s pot

with no where to go

but even the rich can't stop

the careless over fill

as it overflows to sycophants

as payment for the thrill

to the smart fashion houses

jewellers and boutiques

the health farms and gurus

masseurs with technique

trickle down to the high street

and food shops for a spell

then out and back to the farm

where money never dwells

off the the accountants

with the ever counting finger

then nurses cleaners and porters

where never known to linger

back out on the high street

expanding ever more

with loan shops, betting shops

and bingo for the poor

a quick visit to a tea shop

and the burger bar

pubs of wide screen TV

and karaoke bizarre

a long stay in the gutter

where it tends to dwell

with needles pills and potions

feeding private hell

cleaned up by the dealers

looking spick and clean

then back out to the public

via the cash machine

into the car show room

as a deposit on a loan

then used for home mortgage

that the bankers own

from bankers to backhanders

the trickle of little harm

big business in brown envelopes

to grease a sweaty palm

the purchase of a policeman

in case there's a need

for payment to politicians

with motive of pure greed

scandalise political expenses

corrupting what we've got

all the money is needed to

refill the rich man's pot
