July 25, 2009 The farmhouse near the hill (a poem)
There's a big white farmhouse near the hill
It listens and watches quiet and still Napoleon steps in crossing over the sill Snowball slips out the back into the wintry chill Benjamin has watched the rapid climb And a donkey can live a long time A big storm is brewing - see the red sky What can we do - Are we all going to die Snowball said as he strummed on his harp We shall cover ourselves with a big green tarp Napoleon agreed and so work was begun On a big green tarp to cover everyone We must hurry - we've no time to spare He said as he motioned with a broad regal flair Work progressed with a multitude of stitches That soon revealed a multitude of glitches There were those who exclaimed with fright We must slow down and build it right Napoleon exclaimed in a panicked flurry No! We must press on - hurry - hurry Jesters hurried stitching here and there Willy - Nilly in great despair Benjamin watched as quiet as a mime For a donkey, you know, lives a long time Very soon the tarp was done But it just didn't cover everyone It covered some moles and it covered some trolls But others were left exposed to the holes It covered some butts and it covered some nuts But others were left in the rips and the cuts Napoleon though would not make amends Because, you see, it covered his friends It's good enough he said with a smile Let's move on now to the next mile Numbers and polls are now quoted by Squealer To convince us all that we need a healer Squealer proclaims that we have "The One" Who can save us from the heat of the sun The carbon we exhale is trouble with a "T" Learning to breath shallow just may be the key If you don't try and if you are lax You will be hit with a Cap and Trade tax Now let's gather the blessed and oppressed And see to it they all get assessed Squealer is busy as I write this rhyme A donkey, you know, lives a long time Let's hurry now - Hurry we must Don't worry - for this is change you can trust Hurry - don't worry is now the new trend And lenders will lend as we hurriedly spend Mollie has moved and is living abroad Where she can be regularly shod And Boxer and Clover work on side by side After all, there is no place to hide The sheep move about repeating the stats To the cows and the hens, the cats and the rats The Russians it seems got rid of their Czars So we took them in, and now they are ours. Benjamin watched it all with nary a chime For, you know, a donkey lives a very long time Should we rise up and sound the alarm By George! We live on the "Animal farm" Note: Characters are derived from the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell
