THE REVOLUTIONARY BIRD

The Farmer Pig orders
«Shoot all the birds!»
And he loses his cop cats...
all through the wheat fields.

A short while after, they bring
a frightened little bird...
whose beak still holds a grain...
of wheat it hasn't yet swallowed.

«You'll die, thief!»
«But I'm an honest bird...
a woodpecker by trade...
and I work for my living!»

«So why are you stealing my wheat?»
«I take it as the wages,
you still haven't paid,
and you owe me so many grains!
Just like you owe
the gardener toads,
and my friend the ovenbird,
and the miner beetle,
and the workers bees,
and everyone you've cheated.

»You have made your riches
stealing from the proletariat!»
«You're dangerous! A socialist!
Shoot him this instant!»
«Ready, aim... fire!»
«Damn, even the birds
in Latinamerica
become revolutionaries!»
