Illegal Immigrants Poem
I cross ocean, poor and broke,
Take bus, see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there,
Say I need to see welfare.
Welfare say, "You come no more,
We send cash right to your door."
Welfare cheques, they make you wealthy,
NHS it keep you healthy!
By and by, I got plenty money,
Thanks to you, British dummy.
Write to friends in motherland,
Tell them 'come fast as you can.'
They come in turbans and Ford trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks
They come here, we live together,
More welfare cheques, it gets better!
Fourteen families, they moving in,
But neighbour's patience wearing thin.
Finally, white guy moves away,
Now I buy his house, and then I say,
"Find more aliens for house to rent."
And in the yard I put a tent.
Send for family they just trash,
But they,too,draw the welfare cash!
Everything is very good,
And soon we own the neighbourhood.
We have hobby it's called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?
We get free! We got no bills!
Britain crazy! He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.
We think U.K. darn good place!
Too darn good for the white man race.
If they no like us, they can scram,
Got lots of room in Pakistan.
Please take in the way it was written
Light heartedness

This kind of thing is in the newspapers all the time but without the poetic style and humourous aspect. The only thing I see wrong with it is that it's not a question.

Perhaps the question could be 'Is this poem offensive?'
to the intended question was quite obviously - '' Do you like my little poem'' and who would be offended by it, apart from someone doing what the poem describes, mindless PCism from a few ABers - and like Nat said isnt telling someone to play with traffic worse, maybe they should practice what they preach, if you don't like it, don't read it, and certainly don't answer on the post
mnko - You are a complete moron.
I don't think my stance is PC at all, and I most certainly am not mindless.

mnko asked us to take the poem 'as it was written'. Considering I have had this piece sent to me through my email inbox countless times, I do know that it isn't mnkos own work..I have no idea as to the original source, but have the feeling that it was not intended as a lighthearted poem originally.
Good god - what have I stumbled into??

Seriously,if we are going to be exact,no it is not a question.

As with all posts on AB,if you feel something is offensive then report it.Some people don't like some of my questions,or think they are daft,but I dobt think I ever offend anybody.
Ah... but i DID say 'Don't be offended'... so WHY would ANYONE take offence at what little old me said...? (I'm just too lovely... and have lots of friends so no one should be nasty to me.)

Hardly 'mindless PCism' i think admarlow. And i DO believe that i (indeed, ALL of us) have every right to read what some oddity of a man posts on a public site AND to criticise if that is the way we feel.

You have done the same thing to me so i'm not sure where your rule begins and ends!

If mnko HAD asked a question (something i think he has difficulty doing) then wouldn't THAT have been more relevant to THIS site...?

And remember... don't be offended.
mnko

Don't worry about the criticism, because whilst some of us find it funny and lighthearted, others won't, because you have dared to highlight a possible truth, even if it is a small majority, and the fact that this Government seems incapable of doing anything positive to stop it.

This section is entitled "Body and Soul" and whilst not a question, it was good for my soul and body to have a laugh!

Lighten up people, the N.Koreans have just exploded a nuclear device - now that is of more concern and offending than this.
Hmmm... Dassie... i think you could be right.

This whole nuclear thing IS possibly of more concern than this pathetic attempt at popularity.

But had mnko posted a question relating to THAT i think he would have had a friendlier response than some of the 'un-lightened up' ABers, such as me.

But, alas, he is incapable.

Ah well... i'm off to lighten up...

Sheesh...
I really don't think MNKO meant harm by this as I said, and I am squirming somewhat at the dressing down he's being given as such, however it's sadly given people like Dassie, Madarlow etc etc etc the cover to go on promoting raging racism and unpleasantness under the guise of "humour". I'm offended by it and I'm a white middle forties male. You don't have to be black or an immigrant to be embarassed by the sheer gauche naievity that anyone in their right mind could possibly find this funny.It's racist claptrap propagating stereotypical myths about immigrants and non white people.It may not be "important" on the face of it, but it's really nothing to do with being "PC" or not, it's to do with simple truths and good manners, and this displays neither and makes it very difficult to take seriously the points of view iof those people who claim to find it funny in other contexts.
A bit like Oswald Mosely doing stand up comedy really isn't it, how many people would find that funny?
Oh nox ! ................"raging racism" ???????

Who says the people mnko is referring to aren't whites from the E.U. ? So if I was white, a white talking about a white is racist is it? No, the poem is a pointed remark at the sad state of affairs in this Country for all its citizens.

Why be embarrased? You don't have to be on my behalf, the yob Brits abroad on holiday are a bigger embarrasment !

Stop labelling everyone racist just because others, black and white, have a different opinion to you!

I quote you " it's to do with simple truths............"

Yes, agreed, the poem is a pointed remark at the sad state of affairs in the UK today.
The very fact that MNKO requested us not to be offended seems to me that he knew it would offend some of us, yes me included, but posted it anyway. Why did he post it then? God only knows!
Obnoxious - as usual....''you are all racist, blah blah blah blah'' why don't you give you blood pressure a break and have a day off being in a permanant state of offended?
Oh, come, now... let's all smile and agree to differ, shall we?

Or shall we make a tasteless comment about something else...? Can we? Can we? Perleeeeeease...?

One man's amusement is another man's... er... non-amusement, after all.

Some of us just have a slightly better developed idea of 'amusement', perhaps...?

:-o

I`m having an Indian for dinner tonight, or should I just say curry?
So let me get this right...........just because we found this post offensive we are all in a permanent state of being offended??

OK I'll admit to bein' grumpy 98% of the time on 'ere, but everyone else is quite jolly compared ;-)
sorry BOO is was only addressing old Nox
Lol @ BOO!!

Although i'm not sure what on earth the Indian/curry thing is on about. Lol...
and i would report it too, if only i had the facility to do so!
