I HAVE written a poem outlining the disgrace of the pension rise for the over-80s.

I wonder what the Prime Minister can buy for 15p.

SPLASHING OUT I've just turned 80, what a surprise, I've seen in my pension, I've had a rise.15 pence, to treat myself - So I went to the cake shop and I perused the shelf.But she shook her head, said, "I'm sorry my dear, there's nothing at that price here I fear".So I went to the grocers, And there took stock, But again, I had a terrible shock.So I tried the chippy, but all in vain, They laughed in my face - said, "come back again, in about , eight weeks, - If you save your cash.Then you'll be able to "cut a dash", And have a bag of chips, All to yourself, what a splash!J WHEATCROFT Cedar Close, Stourport
