Chaps,

Long shot this.

Many years ago (probably 10 or so) a very funny eMail "funny" did the rounds. it centred around the idea that the government would tax sex, having taxed everything else remotely fun. It took the form of a poem, and had some memorable lines in it, to wit:

"They're taxing our booze, they're taxing our fags, now they're going to tax our shags".

It recieved it at a very old (university) eMail account, and it is long since lost, but I was wondering whether anyone else would remember it, have a copy and could post it on here (or send me a copy.)

There, I said it was a long shot ...

A PAROCHIAL BRITISH ODE.

The country was in such a terrible state
Parliament rose for a budget debate
It was quite a few moments before Tony spoke
When he said "Sex will now cost ten quid a poke"

"Whether you're short, long, skinny or thick
The tax will be paid on the use of your prick"
Chris Smith said "Now Tony, look here.
Will the tax still be paid for the boys who are queer?"

Treasurer Brown arose and looked glum
"Will I be exempt coz I only like bum?"
Tony replied and sounded quite airy
"You'll pay double, you dirty old fairy"

Up got John Major to tremendous applause
He grabbed Margaret Beckett, and whipped off her drawers
He straddled across her and ed her at will
Then he shouted at Tony "put that on your bill"

Prescott shouted "I think I'll resign
I haven't had pussy for very long time
I dream every night of a big juicy crutch
But ten quid a jump is a bit much."

The debate carried on - oh, what a night
Cecil was bonking every woman in sight
The whole house was screwing, the speaker was too
And in the excitement, the dumb bill got through

So now in the bedrooms of England each night
There's many a fanny closed up good and tight
They're taxing our booze and taxing our smokes
And now the bastards are taxing our pokes

If ten pounds a time is the price we must pay,
It's now with ourselves we must play.
So to quench our frustration, we must have a wank
For the state of our country, we have Tony to thank.

Simpo Two - Brilliant! Just what I was looking for.

Out of interest, what did you type into Google to find it?

Oh brilliant. I tried the whole phrase (which you will notice doesn't appear in the poem - my memory does me wrongly) and didn't find anything.

I didn't think of splitting it up.
