“It’s only right that the state should pay”
“It’s society that
benefits” you will hear them say
The overburdened taxpayer
has other ideas
The student’s plight
is the least of his fears
“It’s them who benefit
at the end of the day
So why on earth
shouldn’t they pay their way?”
“It’s just so unfair
to students who are poor”
Say the students doing
medicine and law
It’s hard to
sympathise when you hear that
When it’s coming from the mouth of a spoilt brat
I feel as a conservative voter
I must apologize to
the young
Particularly those of
the middle class
Whose university
worries have really begun
As they now face an
uncertain future
For when their student
loans are spent
The cost of their
degrees will make them
Ever so very slightly
less affluent
Most of them missed an episode of countdown
Some left home halfway
through cash in the attic
What could have
stirred them from their apathy?
Something momentous
or, earth shatteringly dramatic
Well sadly nothing
noble or for the common good
It was just an excuse
for them to break the law
The Nett result is an
even greater burden on the public purse
Ensuring the next
generation will pay even more
Students should be applauded
We should stand and
raise our glasses
To applaud the lazy,
pretentious, self-absorbed wasters
For getting up off
their collective arses
