We Is the Enemy

Pogo put the people into a little box.

He tried to be so clever, just like the gold-haired fox.

But then the tide did turn and the fox became the king.

And Pogo lost his freedoms and all that freedom brings.

They took away his pension and his doctors’ payments too.

The fox just kept on smiling but he really was quite cruel.

Those who had invested leveraged all their stocks.

But the fox only rewarded all the warlord hawks.

Then he called the army to take up all their guns,

and he set them on the streets at home to arrest everyone.

They rounded up the parents and the kids who were in school.

And Pogo then watched the fox get up upon his stool.

“I’m going to force you all to make America great again.

And those who do resist me, I’ll put inside the pen.”

The fox‘s painted ladies served him

on the run.

And Pogo felt he’d screwed himself before they had begun.
