Rather be a tree larger than a bush thats bothered
rather shed some shade than have my roots smothered
rather shed some light on the canopy of leaves
than keep stumpy growths that cuts gents at their knees

Rather be a sailor and sail the ocean blue
than stuck at voter desks without a recess accrued
rather be the robin a fair sign of spring
to pluck fair plump larvae from grass still green

than worry about elected bushes
that extend their tenacious growth
that nabs citizens who'd like to take a vote
coercion will flower fom their stubby shoots today
to block opposition turn out unless controls are made..

Rather be a tree deeply rooted to local needs
than a snappy bush that callously flaunts ideals out to sea
am ready for more years of the same fertilized package
four years of stumpy, snappy growth under an Orwellian aura!
