Oh, povertys a dreadful thing,
A sorrow and a shame.
It causes so much misery.
Someone must be to blame!
And whos to blame is very clear.
Of one thing we are sure:
There never could be poverty,
If twas not for the poor!
Some people choose to earn a lot,
And live in mansions fine.
They always eat the best of food
And drink the best of wine.
Were glad they made this lifestyle choice.
It should be made by more.
Too many cause their own downfall,
By choosing to be poor!
Just think of Labours cruelty,
A model to avoid!
They gave too many benefits
To sick or unemployed.
That only reinforced their sin,
And made them do it more.
You just encourage poverty
When you reward the poor!
Oh, povertys a dreadful thing,
A scourge throughout the land.
Its just like an addictive drug.
As such, it should be banned.
Its really for poor peoples good,
That weve big cuts in store.
A big deterrents what they need
To make them not be poor!
