Another shameless parody of a time-honored poem
The Village Burglar
Under the spreading gooseberry bush
The village burglar lies;
The burglar is a hairy man
With whiskers round his eyes.
He goes to church on Sundays;
He hears the Parson shout;
He puts a penny in the plate
And takes a shilling out.
- Anonymous
The Village Idiot
Under the prickly white house bush
The village idiot lies;
The idiot is an arrogant man
Who thinks that he is wise.
He speaks to God on Sundays;
He's sure he hears God shout:
Put the commandments back in the court
And take those liberals out.
