the hare and the tortoise

hare was laying into tortoise:
all you do is moan and taunt us
twittering on in your dreary fortress

tortoise replied you’re privileged, coked up
entitlement gets me riled n’choked up
come the revolution you’ll be roped up

so they agreed in the press on a little test
a race to see which one was best
hare dashed on, tortoise barely progressed

whilst wining and dining a la mode
hare sold everything even the road
passed laws to shore the capitalist code

used moneyed public school connections
old school ties, police protections
rigged the fairy tale elections

I read the latest news report
tortoise done for disrupting transport
six months said the furious court

now hare is racing a fancy yacht
the fairytale kingdom’s generally shot
and what’s the moral? sorry – forgot
