Gravy Train Stalls-Politicians Take Flight... Instead

The Greek gravy train has a head of steam
Now crewed by the Syriza winning team
They planned their route, it’s all set down
Flags and bunting decorate every town
Their plan is simple, although brand new
Is it perhaps something we all should do?

Free transportation for the frail and old
Their daring plan is foolproof yet so bold
Thousands of jobs created from thin air
Other countries leaders just don’t care
If they did, would they not do the same?
They would magic jobs and play the game

Jobs for the boys and for our women too
You’ll be paid for sleeping and on the loo
While our new plans fill Europe with rage
We will pay you at least, a minimum wage
From where will all this fine money come
To take the Greek population off its bum?

The government will get much-needed cash
By taxing the rich and squeezing their stash
Conglomerates too, will pay a bigger share
Businesses everywhere will pay, that’s fair
Poor brave Syriza, they just cannot know
When you tax the rich they usually up and go

Businesses across the land will simply relocate
Corporation tax revenues fall and costs escalate
Soon the government will run out of steam
A year, perhaps two, then a shattered dream
Out will come once more the begging bowl
Please Deutschland dig us from this awful hole

We kept faith with the euro as you dictated
Our economy stands battered and decimated
Achtung! Do not plant these seeds here sown
Greece must blow the whistle on the Eurozone
