Let the Rats Delight To Steal

Let the rats delight invasion and stealing  
For such is the job destiny allotted them
But you democrats should delight in prudent leading 
For that is what the vote of the masses deserve

Let the rats perceive and chase shadow
From there they get crumbs to quench their hunger;
Substance of importance democrats should follow 
For by it many hands become busy and stronger

Let the rats perceive aroma and not poison
For nature owes them that sense of consciousness
But the heart of the democrats must be sensitive in season 
For to lust after gold and goodies is share wickedness

Let the rats work to meet his mouth’s request
For if he run into danger his mouth is useless
Oh democrats serve and feed the flocks first 
Their little hands could one day save you from grave mess.
