The toffs believe that they have taken over
that we are just the fodder in their bag
this unelected gaggle of elitist public school boys
get kind of upset and even lose their rag
when the hunt saboteur’s
are really on the right side of their law
which lets the RSPCA go get them
this riles the toffs into an all out war
it tears at their emotion
the very notion
that people who care about foxes
have a say
I mean this almost crucifies
their colons
blood pressure is the order
of their day
I can’t abide the slippery slope
to evil
that our feral souls are forced
to undergo
chased around the countryside
by hordes of yelping hounds
and sherry swigging toffs
who ought to know
better for the countryside
is beautiful
its shared it doesn’t belong
to them at all
we share it with the wild folk
who were there long long before us
they violate our decency
the rule
of Law is now in place
and should be left there
no sleight of hand
no tricks
no magic we
must protect all animals
look after them and love them
and do into perpetuity
