The liberal minded
Like a parade
They like to march
They like to engage
Beat the drum
To end the war
They’ll tell you
That’s what freedoms for
Ban the bomb
Free Tibet
No more Trident
End third world debt
March in the city
For gay pride
And every liberal
Is on your side
If you’re so inclined
Join the throng
March in unison
And sing the liberal song
But bang the drum
And blow the horn
For patriotism
And feel their scorn
Don’t you just love them?
If only for their belief in equality
Or a love of all things PC
And an unswerving moral certainty
It’s a shame that to become a liberal
A sense of humour bypass is necessary
I’m taxed on what I earn
By the government knave
I’m taxed on what I spend
I’m taxed on what I save
And every penny in between
I’m taxed from cradle to the grave
What mugs we all are in the UK
With the amount of tax we have to pay
We’re taxed on what we earn at work
We’re taxed on every little perk
Then when we spend our pay
They take some purchase tax away
Very little is exempt from VAT
It’s even on a cup of tea
Even coffee and juices fruity
If you smoke you pay tobacco duty
Then the unkindest tax of all
Duty on every form of alcohol
If you can afford a new car today
There is an even greater price to pay
With seventeen and a half percent more owed
Then you’re taxed to keep it on the road
And you pay Tax on your fuel at the garage
Then in the city there’s the congestion charge
Then there’s a new tax to be faced
Parking the car at your workplace
You’re taxed for the policeman on the beat
And for the lighting in the street
Then Airport taxes for our holidays
We’re even taxed for what we throw away
If we buy or sell a house today
There’s not one tax but a whole array
We’re even taxed on the money we save
We’re taxed from the cradle to the grave
Men wake up looking pretty much as they did
The night before when they went to bed
While women wake up looking an awful fright
Because they manage to
deteriorate during the night
I love anagrams
Anagrams are great
They are fun
By varying degrees
For example
This is funny
For the Yankees
Snooze alarms = alas!
No more z 's
But if you happen to
have
A British head
Snooze alarms = alas!
No more z 's
A man will pay £2 for a £1 item
But only when it’s
something he needs
A woman will pay £1
for a £2 item
Because it’s on sale
and not out of need
