DECIMALISATION
We used to pay less not more,For twelve items in our store.
There used to be twelve penny's,
Not ten or am I going
Round the bend.
Twelve packets of this and that,
Now only ten for money spent.
A kings ransom to buy a house,
Not enough to feed a mouse.
Let alone to pay the rent,
Or even a slice of bread.
Wish we had a debtors jail,
At least we would have.
A roof over our heads.
