The Slush Fund



The invention of the slush fund is a boon to all mankind;
The government stays in the chips while honest folks stay blind.
Agents with agendas go on famous shopping sprees,
And nobody’s the wiser when accountants swarm like bees.

So pay your taxes honestly; the money that you sweat
So hard to earn is spent by agents who have no regret.
The end will justify the means, although a bit corrupt --
And who cares if the whole damn country winds up as bankrupt?

I wish I had a slush fund I could draw from ev’ry day,
To drive a red Ferrari and drink loads of chardonnay.
But since I can afford just crackers and some sliced baloney,

If government will leave me be I’ll pay my alimony!
