For me to repeal to go back in time
\nTo honour the torturers who would climb
\nBack into their saddles and chase Brer Fox
\nA child of the forests whose wildness rocks
\nIt’s absurd and senseless and asks a lot
\nOf those with compassion which most have got
\nAnimals Created to be as one
\nTo live Undisturbed under the sun<\/p>\n
MAy and Leadsome imagine that they
\nCan Act as our prophets and Save the day
\nFor the hunting clan to get back on
\nTheir horses and ride till the fox is gone
\nWith a bunch of hounds they can take the scent
\nAnd chase the fox and not relent
\nUntil the animal is torn apart
\nThat’s when the hunter men take heart<\/p>\n
It’s the toffs that play up to all this stuff
\nDressed in their crimson I have seen enough
\nOf their psychopathy out on the field
\nThe arrogant gestures that they all yield
\nThese women believe they have an edge
\nThe power to change and to drive a wedge
\nBetween us all and to let them be
\nExpecting for there’s is no certainty
\nOf course a few would wish to see
\nFoxes chased relentlessly
\nBut I for one would rather say
\nTo both of them No now no way<\/p>\n
They came to be with that in mind
\nForcing the issue they underlined
\nTheir position and what it mean’t
\nReally what was their intent
\nAnimals rights can sign away
\nAs to making a difference with them
\nI say<\/p>\n
They’re just ignorant and do not care
\nThey are after votes which drives me spare
\nThey please the alliance where they can
\nAnd, of course the hunting man
\nCouched with royalty yes they be
\nThe landed gentry want to see
\nHunts a riding once again
\nOver the hills and dales it’s plain<\/p>\n
Affirming the maxim that wild souls must
\nBe chased and chased till they feel the thrust
\nOf the sporting dogs all trained to kill
\nTo rush through copses and down the hill
\nThrough people’s gardens just take control
\nTanked up on sherry with just one goal
\nTo catch a fox and see it torn
\nTo bits and saboteurs to warn
\nWe know of their cruelty Yes we do
\nAnd little respect from the boys in blue<\/p>\n
Let’s keep the act and tighten it now
\nStop all this hunting we will not cower
\nInside our homes whilst the throngs embrace
\nA killing spree all over the place
\nSign the petition but realise
\nWhatever numbers whatever the size
\nIt will not change their minds for they
\nLack empathy for the fox today<\/p>\n
The tradition angle and culture too
\nIt’s the countryside that pulls them through
\nTheir determination to make the case
\nVermin’s the word now that they base
\nTheir argument and their willingness
\nTo fight with constancy I guess<\/p>\n
Tally Ho and clippety clop
\nThrough the woods Nothing can stop
\nThey are the kingpins what they say
\nGoes if the act is repealed a way
\nOpen again for the terrier men
\nFor the gasping hounds who all know when
\nThe fox is weakening and can be
\nWon over and killed intelligently<\/p>\n
As for these two they may just feel
\nRestored and ready with added zeal
\nBut they are the bane of those of us
\nWho live in the country and want no fuss
\nWe love the natural world we do
\nAnd all the animals good and true
\nTheir liberation is our desire
\nDeliverable despite the ire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
