Poetic Justice
Let's spare a thought for Tony Blair, Who bought-to-let in Connaught Square, A venture proving sadly rash, As prices promptly staged a crash!
Gordon Brown - a man to trust, Said there will be no Boom & Bust, The BoE then waded in, Confirming all the Treasury spin,
The Halifax and Nationwide, Denied the market was set to slide, Economists cited the New Paradigm, Insisting that it's different this time
Property shows all eulogised, Dewy-eyed buyers filled with pride, And 'expert' Kirstie boasted that if prices fall "I'll eat my hat"
Hometrack gave their erudite view, (Something which they doubtless rue) A property crash, anytime soon, Is like finding Elvis on the moon
As time bore out his very worst fears, Poor Tony Blair came close to tears, O'er month by month and day by day, He'd lost seven hundred K
Tony accosted Gordon Brown, "You never said prices could go down, It's sexed-up vested-interest spin, That landed me in the mess I'm in!"
And how could someone do this to me? So honest - a model of probity, I've never told a single lie, I'm really a pretty straight kind of guy"
A worthy example Blair has set, To others bamboozled into debt, The irony plain for all to see, Their PM in negative equity.
So spare a thought for Tony Blair, For sometimes, sometimes, life IS fair!
