Safety First

Now that our towns again are quiet,
You may inspect the scenes of riot.

But, Honourable Members, please -
Some things that you must note are these:

Do not expect much gratitude;
Their values are uncouth and crude.

They've tried to recreate our joys
In trashing restaurants as boys.

Alas, the spirit isn't there
For They do not know how to share.

They'd rather grab a small amount
Than fatten an expense account.

They do not know the stress and strife
Pervading every rich man's life.

They've never had to feel the pain
Of profiting by Daddy's gain.

As conscience lets, be courteous
But don't forget: They're not like Us.

Remember that We are the Haves
And They - the Have-nots - are the Chavs.

Rt Hon Wimsey Bungo MP
