Foolish John Doe

John Doe and Jtxis wife they had a good life Were considered good citizens too; They wore white hats and did all the things Good citizens usually do.

They rode everywhere on a horse and a mare Regardless of sunshine or rain; They stuck to familiar, well-worn paths Like Establishment Road or Compromise Lane.

They rode to the Hounds; they danced to the Piper; They ate their cut of the Pie; They paid their Membership Dues and Taxes Without ever questioning why.

The going was easy; the way was smooth - No rebellion - not one dangerous whim - / But how shattered their pride when they realized, inside, That their Horses were riding them!
