Et in Arcadia Ego
The King, he asked, "Why tax the rich? It raises little money?"
The taylor said, "My complex weave, it turns my profits runny."
Accountants talked of dividends that left the taxman baffled.
Then Monte laughed and laughed and laughed; the taxes were all snaffled.
Chorus
Et in Arcadia Ego
Et in Arcadia Ego...
(Repeat a billion times)

ReplyDeleteHere's my rendition:
ReplyDeleteMr Brown went to town,
Spending lots of money.
He had not seen
Who'd left the scene
Before the banks went funny
That man should be Poet Laureate. Get him a Knighthood pronto

ReplyDeleteWay I see it, there's only thing a man should do with his (not terribly) hard earned cash...
Rob Peter to pay Phil.
