Ye Horrible Poor

from Argentavis Exponential by Captain Vulpine!

/

lyrics

They're miserable, they're terrible, ungodly and unbearable
They're wretched and incomparable
The Horrible Poor
They're dismal, abominable, atrocious and wrongful
Malfeasent in their longfullness
The Horrible Poor

Unfit to drive my carriage
Unfit for even marriage
I've seen how they cavort in droves at night

They're leering at our daughters
These lowly six-pence sodders
I dream of the day they're banished from our sight

Sure they helped to build my house
But now I share it with mice and louse
Is it worth getting so close, just to smite them?

They're miserable, they're terrible, ungodly and unbearable
They're wretched and incomparable
The Horrible Poor
They're dismal, abominable, atrocious and wrongful
Malfeasent in their longfullness
The Horrible Poor

They smoke their foul tobacco
They laugh in vicious cackles
While proper civility requests a hearty laugh

They revel in one course meals
Converse like braying seals
My blood congeals when they "spit- shake on deals"

They hats are old and shoddy
Their shoes are holed and rotting
And their coats? Why, they're hardly coats at all!

They're miserable, they're terrible, ungodly and unbearable
They're wretched and incomparable
The Horrible Poor
They're dismal, abominable, atrocious and wrongful
Malfeasent in their longfullness
The Horrible Poor

The rich, the rich? We'll throw them in a ditch
Grind them into flour and roll them into pitch
We'll pave the road in them to revolution
They've got their stocks and bonds
We've got our drinking songs
And I've never met a sober man I trust.
How rich is a rich man's shadow, when he's hanging from the gallows?
And how many galleons is a high priced stallion below?

Captain Vulpine! Portland, Oregon

Culled from the muzzard infested lands of inbetween, Captain Vulpine wanders the ever-dying mortal world in search of nothing at all. Shortly after discovering whiskey, all was lost- and the disastrous memoirs of lands and minds long since gone now linger in these culminations of manifested misery and madness. ... more
