The Corporatist On The Dole

Folder: 
Thought For Food

Hey, I'm the corporatist

Again on the dole

Another year,

Another billion

 

Sittin' back

Loungin', collectin'

Sipping on lemonade

Made from your lemons

 

Thanks for growin'

And, hey,

While you're at it,

Bring me another

You look thirsty

My dad grew a lemon tree from

You have inspired a story I wish to share. My dad grew a lemon tree from the seeds of one when I was young. We had it for many years, potted so it could go inside during the winter, until a drug addict stole it consecutive weeks. The first time, we happened to be coming back from church and saw an incredibly high individual walking off with it. When my dad confronted him, the addict insisted it was his lemon tree. I guess he was taking it out for a walk ; ) Unfortunately, the next week, presumably the same guy had better timing in grabbing the tree to sell for his next fix. Lemon hiding is an artform, indeed, in more ways than just that you speak of. Like the addict in my childhood, the corporatist will stop at nothing to take our lemons.
