The Government are blase
about Badgers
they take no notice
of our strength of feeling
they listen to the lobbyists
providing them with money
as for the Badgers
and wild folk
its really strangely funny
they are blamed for TB
when the cows are fed on sh**
not allowed to chew the cud
not a little bit
well perhaps a week or two
before they are slaughtered
but many do not get this
not at all
corn and GM soya from
those ravaged Brazilian forests
creating massive methane
whose the fool?
the government
the farmers
the activists
or creation
who made the badgers
really after all
its the Government
and the farmers
they are the wild life harmer’s
who have sadly broken every
natural rule
the supermarket moguls
have got powerful
richer than just anyone around
they call the shots on prices
and animal feed is costly
and getting cows on fresh grass
costs a pound
so keep them in their concrete
pens and feed them
on our cheaper feed
that makes their guts so sore
that makes them fart and belch
like blooming crazy
and weakens their immune systems
I am sure
then when they get the TB
look around and think Oh god
that a blooming nuisance
really that’s a sod
how can we get out of this
get tax payers on the case
say it is the Badgers fault
which is a big disgrace
and shoot them
get some money from the public purse
and hope
that will buy some time for farmers
that will pressure activists
roll out the white coat brigade
with their NLP and soap
