A vision of ignorance















The Euro swooned. It felt unwell
Greece was sick and going to hell
Bad times for traders in red socks
Flapping arms and falling stocks
From the bankers came solutions
Less help for higher contributions
To keep them rich and screw the poor
While all the blame went to their door

They rioted, the markets spoke
We'll take that Papandreou bloke
The problem wasn't over yet
Because of high Italian debt
Another victim had to do
Exit ‘bunga’‘bunga’ Silvio
The markets growled, the euro sighed
The markets roared, the euro cried

Speaking in the bankers' hall
Eton Dave welcomes the fall
Complacent and myopian
Despising the ‘utopian’
It's part of the Conservative scheme
To wreck the European dream
Viewing from the UK prison
Its social egalitarianism

Dave speaks the Anglo Saxon creed
The ancient law of class and greed
Bullying markets rule the day
Dictating government policy
Equality and rights are sins
Only fit for Jacobins
Lower taxes make us free
And for the poor austerity
