For my friends who live outside the UK, The Chippie is the Fish & Chip restaurant.
Why don’t politicians
Bring their trouble and strife
For a meal in the sit in chippie?
That way they’d learn about life.
They’d see the obesity issue
Is a really serious matter
With fat folk stuffing their faces
With chips and peas and batter
They’d see the nutrition crisis
With parental smacking of lips
As they guzzle expensive protein
Whilst feeding their children chips!
They would witness the pensioners’ struggle
As they totter back to the table
With one small portion between two,
On a pension that’s all they are able.
With some careful overhearing
And plenty eye mopping tissues,
They’s hear a load of stories
So learn about real issues.
But I never see politicians
Bring their trouble and strife
For a meal in the sit in chippie,
Because they don’t want to know about life.
