Green Shoots

Rah rah! Recession's had its day!
Recovery is on the way:
The dip, so bad from days of yore,
Is less abysmal than before!

By getting rid of human rights,
We've paid back Continental slights.
Our gimps and spastics we have fined,
And others of the Philpott kind.

We've done what's right and trimmed the flab,
And let the poor pick up the tab;
We stood our course, and up we went
By three whole tenths of one per cent!
