Today we've seen a rise in V.A.T.
It's up from 17.5 per cent
To 20 per cent, making things costly
I wonder if the economists count
This as inflation or whether they don't
Because it's not money but tax ... But still
The effect on us is the same. I can't
Deny I'm not ecstatic, not too thrilled
At things costing more, having bigger bills
But tax is there to help us, or should be
We get some benefits back when it's spent
Or should do. Mustn't be too cynical
Because that leads to selfishness and we
Can't all afford that kind of government
