Jessie Pope - The War Budget
Work rating: Low

HODGE waded through the weekly news, 
"The Income Tax, he said, 
"That`s nowt to me, I shallunt lose, 
`Twill hit the boss instead. 
Lloyd George he be the man for I, 
Us poor have nowt to fear." 
He paused then gave a dismal cry : 
" They`re goin` to tax my beer" 

" A good thing too!" replied his wife. 
" `Twill keep you from the pub, 
Swilling each evening of your life, 
While I work at the tub!" 
Across the inglenook she reached, 
The welcome news to see, 
Then, in resentful clamour, screeched : 
"3d. a pound on tea"  

                MORAL 

To foot the bill it`s only fair 
That everyone should do their share, 
And since we all are served the same, 
Pay and look pleasant that`s the game.
