Poems from communities: 4

[pomes]

If you've given in to pressure to conform (to conform)
And your corporate environment is warm (nice and warm)
You must accept you cannot blame me for your choice (for your choice)
Even if you do use the poetic voice ('snot my voice)

Workers and drones
Workers and drones
Stick together
Stick together
Workers and drones
Workers and drones
Stick together
Stick together

Think on who you've been and how you went and what you've done
You make ethical decisions which will affect everyone
You must admit and realise that it is all your decision

Corporate zones

Be a consumer
Be a consumer

Be a consumer
Be a consumer

Work shirk work shirk work shirk work shirk work

Shirk

Quirk.

It's not Gilbert and Sullivan
Though the first verse ought to be
It's a Balamory theme tune from
The kiddiwinks TV.

When a hippie's not engaged in her composting
Or maturing her FELONIOUS can of worms
Her capacity for rhyming and riposting
Is as great as that for incubating germs

Her feelings she with difficulty smothers
When ecology and the recycling call
Taking full consideration of all others
Idealism comes before a fall

Taking full consideration of all others (of all others)
Idealism comes before a fall

When the dedicated cyclist's not a-cycling
When the allotment has been emptied of all grime
She loves to hear the engine smugly purring
And to tumble-dry the washing on the line

When she's finished teaching breastfeeding to mothers
She loves to hang out at the shopping mall
Taking full consideration of all others
Idealism comes before a fall

Taking full consideration of all others (of all others)
Idealism comes before a fall
