Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Updated Version

Remember the old Aesop tale

Of ants that constantly did work,

While the grasshopper did avail

Of doing nothing - what a jerk!

Today in twenty twenty one

The grasshopper does nothing still,

While ants still get lots of work done.

All the grasshopper does is chill,

Knowing that the U.S.A. Gov

Will send him food stamps and a check,

And he can take advantage of

The bureaucracy - what the heck!

The ants work and pay Gov its share,

And Gov pays grasshopper welfare.
