Boom, Boom, Boom Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

The boom is back for the wealthy of our land,
The news is kept quiet to keep the upper hand,
The rich will be richer, where will the poor be?
Back in the same place just wait till you see!
They say that the salary that our leader may get
It is far more than Barack Obama's, now on that, I do bet!
Well, the budget is coming with goodies galore,
It will take up to ten years and maybe more,
We will call in Sherlock Homes for him to explore
What good will it be to the homeless and poor?
Oh God, what has happened to our Irish race?
We will soon disappear and there won't be a trace,
Leaving behind a heap of sordid details and greed
We need good leadership with the greatest of speed!
