North Sea Diaries - Hiaku

North Sea Diaries is calling for Hiaku about to summarise the Constitution. Consider this either a set of three or an extended Hiaku.

you are lowly serfs,
so says our great master the
european union

democracy sucks,
so says our great master the
european union

give me more money,
so says our great master the
european union

UPDATE:

I'm quite enjoying this and I think that I've managed to condence that extended Hiaku into a single verse:

you are lowly serfs,
EU is master, so you must
give us more money

I have been aided here with Li Bo's Text Inspector to make sure that I use the correct number of syllables.

Just realised that Li Bo's Text Inspector probably counted EU as one syllable, when it should be two. A little jigging with the punctuation and the corrected version is this:

You are lowly serfs,
EU is master. So you!
Give us more money.
