Snouts in the Trough

Of course we aren’t all greedy. We just want our share

Of all the cash that’s going cheap. It seems only fair.

All those lovely adverts from those kindly lawyer folk

You know we all deserve it. Be sure this is no joke!

They’ll do all the work for you and will not charge a bean

It’s just the goodness of their hearts. The kindest ever seen!

You know that you deserve it, and you could use the cash

The briefs will get it for you, then you can make a splash.

There’s no such thing as accidents. Someone is to blame.

How could there be losers in this modern bingo game?

Never mind the one you sue, who did their level best,

As long as you can get your share who cares about the rest?

Does this not remind you of the pigs within the sty?

Will we get the message? Well maybe by and by!

With all these snouts within the trough is there enough to eat?

Look out! I hear the trample of many piglet feet!
