He sits up in his garrett

he sits up in his garret
but never eats his carrot
he got a food parcel
and ate more than a morsel
and started to talk like a parrot.
is the system against us ?
I wouldn't have thought it would notice
if we pay our subscriptions
and follow instructions
I'm sure it would work in a trice
why is my poetry shite ?
why does day follow night ?
if god has a plan
as surely he can
then why don't he fix Comp-u-shite ?
