For the budgeting of Gordon Brown
The income tax rate has come down
By 2%
The starter 10% tax rate
Is being scrapped to compensate
And less is spent

A penny-a-pint on beer and cider
Whisky, though, has stayed the same this year
(Can you spot he's a Scot? Let's see his drink bill...)

The celebrated Mr. B.
Goes on environmentally
Beyond a joke
Slashed V.A.T. on nicorettes
But 'leven pence on cigarettes
So don't you smoke

As Gordon Brown assures the public
Our economy runs second to none
All on course
A matter of course
A tour de force

His speech began at three o'clock
Dear god, how that old Scot can talk
He witters on
For hours he will tell us things
His economic genius brings
See MPs yawn

Having looked over the calculations
Gordon's robbing Peter to pay Paul
The renowned Gordon Brown is topping the bill.
