Money Tree - Donald Keyman


another day another scam 
not just by people on the lam 
a wall, a movie, a culture centre 
grants and handouts to the highest tender 

this film needs money to start shooting 
(not quite as much as the Lagan looting) 
though that would make a tasty screenplay 
with disaster lurking just an email away 

to get more people to visit these parts 
they'll spaff more money on the arts 
Hugo this, Hugo that, spend more cash 
it's just more mindless balderdash 

rattling around on broken roads 
are we the envy of the toads 
or are these islands just the same 
with politicians just as lame?
