Gravy Train Will Run Again

30/1/2015

gravy train political poetry about the EU

The Greeks know 'twill be a mess
There is no need to second guess
Today they are feeling full of hope
But when they see he cannot cope
And to the Troika he bows his head
All hope they had will then be dead

He will hold out that begging bowl
For German money to fill the hole
Berlin's finest will moan and groan
Yet find the cash for another loan
The Greeks will never lose their debt
The hopes they had will not be met

There is one chance to yet be free
No longer broken on bended knee
The accursed Euro, in fact's the same
As the Deutschmark with another name
The Greeks will better days not see
Until they ditch this damned currency

Tis a cruel hope to expect real gains
Shackled by Krupp & Co steel chains
No more u-boats or mighty tanks
No more in hock to foreign banks
With the Drachma back in circulation
A chance to construct a better nation

However, it is hard to break this link

To others' rule when you cannot think
Put a man in power, remove his brain
Puff him with pride, he'll not think again
A broken man, he now cries and garbles
'I blame Lord Elgin, he stole our Marbles'
