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 checks, they make you wealthy,

Medicare 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!

British crazy! He pay all year,

To keep welfare running here.

We think Britain 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.

Disclaimer: I am British, don't mind poking fun at myself...

Errr, I don't really think this is poking fun at the British!!!

...let me guess...............white British.

welfare?, medicare?

This is probably just originally about America but replaced with Britain.

Amazes me when people moan about Immigration in the UK whilst living abroad.

Well I thought it was funny and I am living in the UK.

Chopper that was really a great read. Enjoyed it much!

nice one chopper

"They come in turbans and Ford trucks,"

Did you know that "Those who come in turbans" (both Indian & Pakistani) raised the largest volunteer army the world has ever seen to help the Allies in the 2nd World War?

Perhaps it had something to do with the Japanese wanting to invade India. Had they succeeded they would have made the Brits seems like missionaries.

Errr, I don't really think this is poking fun at the British!!!

Would I be wrong in saying that depends on your interpretation? Some might perceive this to be having a laugh at the British Taxpayer expense.

Those of you that enjoyed it.

Those of you that did not; Lighten up guys.

Thank you Chopper, a funny poem and very true..but have you seen Britain's proposed new immigration policy?

Artisan, great picture.

Amazes me when people moan about Immigration in the UK whilst living abroad.

So you mean that by choosing to live outwith the country of my birth we are not entitled to an opinion. The reason alot of people have left their home countries is the Immigration nightmare that is going on.

Its racist and offensive and untrue, cheap and nasty just encourages the BNP and deeply unfunny but circulated by rednecks around the world hence the 'Americanisms' throughout. The only funny bit is that expats don't appear to learn anything much through being migrants to another country.

No worries suegha.

ratchabuild, sounds like it touched a raw nerve.
