Animal Farm : Revision of the Past

Just Kidding

Battle of Cowshed
Many had fought,
but most brave of all – Snowball
to save animals, he got shot.

Later, when he was gone
some still remembered his feat
but, Oh, just kidding!
He was actually a cheat.

Snowball and Napoleon argued.
And when Snowball planned
for a great, big windmill
Napoleon passionately contended.

No, just kidding.
Squealer explained
that it was in fact Napoleons plans.
And it seemed so valid..

"No animal shall drink alcohol"
It was to be the process,
Just kidding, it was truly
"No animal shall drink alcohol to excess."

Such as these were modified
but t’was all justified
Except for one, drilled deep in their minds
from a land distant time.

"Four legs good, two legs bad"
Even the sheep knew, that’s what was sad.
Already, it is altered
"Four legs good, two legs better"

Life in equality, no humans, no tyranny
was really, all too imaginary
for when time came for understanding
they found that the pigs were just kidding.
