A Whinge in Poorly Constructed Couplets

It seems to me it's so unfair
To study PA anywhere
The government thinks I earn so much
My poor offspring can have no such
Thing as any allowance at all
To stay within the residential hall
No youth allowance to spend and nay
No help when interstate they stay
Not even one small brass razoo
To pay the rent when it is due
I pay my taxes, I pay my rates
I phone my Centrelink and waits
"We'd like to help but it's too hard
But she can have a low-income card
It will help her ride the bus
So that's what you gets from us!"
I wouldn't moan and I wouldn't curse
If things didn't keep on getting worse
I didn't mean to moan and bitch
But I'm really not that freakin' rich!
