James James
Morrison Morrison
Weatherby George Dupree
Took great
Care of his money,
though only twenty-three.
James James
Said of his money,
“Money?” he said, said he;
“I will never conform and fill in
that form - my money belongs to me!”
James James
Morrison’s money
Suddenly upped and went;
James James
Morrison’s money
Vanished yet hadn’t been spent;
James James
Morrison’s money
(considered more little than
large)
Had been magic-ed away the Direct
Debit way - they call it Community Charge.
Neil K
Put up a notice:
NOT LOST BUT STOLEN, PINCHED!
JAMES JAMES
MORRISON’S MONEY
SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN HALF-INCHED.
LAST SEEN
TRYING TO BALANCE,
JUST ABOUT IN THE BLACK.
THE MAN’S ON THE BREADLINE; TO
HELL WITH YOUR DEADLINE FOR POLL TAX
- HAND IT BACK!
James James
Morrison Morrison
(commonly known as Jim)
Told his
Starving relations
Not to go blaming him.
James James
Said to That Woman,
“I can’t afford it, see?
I will never conform and fill in
that form - it stinks exceedingly.”
James James
Morrison’s chattels
Haven’t been heard of since.
Neil K
Said he was sorry,
So did the Queen and Prince.
Neil K
(somebody told me)
Said to a man he knew,
“Your take-home pay at the end of
the day is nicked by You Know Who.”

Weatherby George Dupree
Is a
Guest of Her Majesty,
Though only twenty-three.
James James
Wrote to Her Majesty,
“Ma’am,” he wrote, wrote he,
“You must never conform and fill
in that form - come in here and live for free!”
