Poet's Corner
Here's another piece of equal pay prose from one of our regular readers in the west of Scotland - all contributions gratefully received:
"The Councils' stance is wrong
They had us working for a song
for when it's time to pay us
they'd rather whip and flay us
oh but when it comes to expenses
they hide behind their fences
squandering the taxpayers money
they seem to find it funny
when the little people want to know
where the f @ *k did the money go
in the end we'll have what's ours
so they can't spend thousands on fancy flowers
the game is up and they've been caught
yet still no money.. d'ya think they've forgot?
let's not forget the unions we pay
that helped the councils' so we had no say
we'll get the last laugh when we get our wages
even though it's taken for ages
there is a lesson to be learned
for all the Councils' and those concerned
you may flaunt the laws and the rules
but Stefan Cross and the E.T. are no fools
you can bury your heads and hope it'll go away
but this will never happen 'til you give us our pay.
