Compare and Contrast
At each of the briefings the graphs have been there
The message came through loud and clear
Comparing ‘gainst countries who aren’t doing well
They’re far worse off there than us here
Ministers and experts comparisons drawn
To highlight how great we have done
See how we are better than others out there
It showed how our battle’d been won
But now graphs show starkly we don’t compare well
Our spluttering leaders decide
Comparing ‘tween nations is no longer safe
So we should dismiss all their slides
