budget

need a bit more money

got to tax the poor

20 pound uplift

don't need that any more




must reward the workers

they don't need a safety net

with crooks and the scammer

out for what they'll get




reward public service

a pay rise would be fine

but swallowed by inflation

except on sparkling wine




government must play its part

midst growing discontent

must squeeze department budgets

and saving 5 percent




got to save the planet

it cost going green

lower airport taxes

and tax on kerosene
