I’m absolutely certain no one will want to read what I have just spent half a hour writing (For too deep) I have saved it though, if anyone is interested. So let’s have some of my usual drivel, here’s my answer to the prompt

. 1, The English football team will never win Wimbledon. 2. There will never be more than 24 hours in a day. 3, There will always be at least four workmen watching the one doing the work. 4, The Rich will always want more. 5, The poor will always want what the rich have. 6, Politicians will only lie when they open their mouths. 7, Dark is always there before light. 8, Worms will never learn to play the piano. 9, People that play loud music in their cars, will always have their windows down. 10, Toast will always land buttered side down.

The following, has a tenuous connection to today’s prompt, because one of the things I’m certain of is that greed exists, and I should publish it now whilst it’s in the public eye again. I just hope that my readers in far off regions will have heard of the Post Office scandal here in the Uk and therefore understand my little rant.

Written from a sub postmasters view.

The Post Office.

My Post Office till showed 10p out,

I knew it was wrong I had little doubt.

So I phoned up head quarters,

They are the big money sorters.

Press that button he said with a snort,

I did just that, it added another nought.

It’s one pound out now, I said with a snigger,

I’ll pay it now before the sum gets bigger.

No it’s fine said the man, just press it again,

Then another nought added, I was begining to feel pain.

Ten pounds now, I would have to pay,

Press it again was all he could say.

Keep on pressing he uttered, it will soon cancel,

I then had more debt than Birmingham city council.

Thousands of PO workers, in the same situation,

How could fraud be so rife across the nation?

Nothing wrong with our system, was the Royal Mails retort,

It’s all in black and white in the installer’s report.

It’s the workers to blame, not our fault at all,

Try and prove otherwise, go bang your head against the wall.

Greed is the boss, and greed is the master,

To let the workers be right, would be a disaster.

So this story is one that’s far too common,

You’ve got a job on your hands if you want to fight Mammon.
