Can anyone give me any information about a poem called "Redundancy Pay", apparently by Ray Fuller?

I have a handwritten copy of a short poem (or extended quip perhaps) on the wall of my office that I must have taken some years ago from a book or somewhere else. It's called "Redundancy Pay" and I have written that it's by Ray Fuller.

The text is:

"Redundancy pay
Is not a bad way
To learn at last
You're a thing of the past"

Can anyone shed any light on the text or on the person who wrote it?

Best answer: I'm not turning anything up, but if I had to take a guess, I'd say it's probably Roy Fuller. Fuller also wrote:
Water inflated the belly
Of Hart Crane, and of Shelley.
Coleridge was a dope.
Southwell died on a rope.

Response by poster: Thanks, that makes perfect sense - I must have written it wrong.
