We believe female circumcision Is barbaric, But boys should look like their Dads, It's traditional, like swinging a dead cat In a gunney sack over your head. Yeah, like Dad and I showered together daily? Should girls augment their ******* to look like Mom. Should Mom landscape to look like daughter. Let's bring Granny into the mix. We believe homelessness to be cruel And unnecessary. Why I have one in winter, And one in summer. Our dogs have wall-to-wall. Birds have gilded cages. They have vents and cardboard. We believe in fair trade (Except with countries we don't believe), To get what others have, Especially those diamond rings, Blood stones. We abhor child labour, But haven't enough Money to give Wal-Mart On Black Friday. Where do our sympathies lie? When sympathies lie.
