I have devised a total plan
to dominate the race called Man
I now request you overview it.
Here’s exactly how we’ll do it.
Our energies we must invest
to keep them under house arrest.

You know we can’t ignore this blight.
They won’t go down without a fight.
Disarm their plans to overlord.
Their pens are stronger than our sword
We’ll decimate the prized bequest
of poets under house arrest.

We’ll take your children, much adored
and sever their most vital chord.
We’ll guarantee they won’t succeed
by making sure that they can’t read.
The schoolhouse we can then infest.
Put poets under house arrest.

The ways that we will plant our bugs
is fill your children full of drugs.
The major way we’ll do them in...
Addicting them to Ritalin.
Then we’ll pretend to know what’s best
with poets under house arrest.

We’ll then disguise this awful deed.
Explain away why kids can’t read.
We’ll give them guns to add suspense
and sabotage their audience.
This strategy will pass each test,
with poets under house arrest.

Convincing them that they are sick
might seem to be a dirty trick.
And experts we’ll pretend to be
while healing them with tyranny.
Then larger jails we can request.
More poets under house arrest!

Another challenge that remains
is how to detonate their brains.
In this way we can get a lock
on zapping with electroshock.
This plan will work, I can attest,
With poets under house arrest.

With poets hidden from our sight
we can make fuzzy what is right.
By blinding them with false illusion
we can foment mass confusion,
free from the screams of loud protest
of poets under house arrest.

These poets are a deadly scourge
whose influence we have to purge.
Their mutiny, we must supress.
ensuring spells of quietness
I won’t be wrong or second guessed
Until they’re under house arrest.
