OH, GEORGE ORWELL.....

 OH, GEORGE ORWELL,
 My friend George Orwell.
 What do I have to say?
 What do I have to tell?
 
 "World at large is going to hell!
 Not a peep from church bell!
 Alice is falling but not fell!
 No more Farmer in the Dell!
 MEDIA has US ALL IN A SPELL!
 Wall Street drowning! In our
 ZERO PERCENT WELL!!!!!!"
 
 Oh, Mister Orwell
 bring me a dream!
 Don't want to dance
 on a sun beam, but
 like to have reality be
 just as it seems!
 
 Oh, Mister Orwell
 bring me a dream!
 Don't buy me off with
 bowl of ice cream, nor
 bling with a gleam!
 Oh, Mister Orwell,
 what have you to say?
 "Take any bridge
 across any bay,
 take look around until
 you find where you want
 to stay!" Hope like hell
 "neighbors" don't say no!
 
 Oh, Mister Orwell,
 tell me some thing.
 Why does anyone care
 if prince gives lady a ring?
 Ireland and Spain are broke!
 Does that ring a bell?
 Marie A. did no worse and had
 HEAD chopped before it fell!
 
 Oh, Mister Orwell!
 In grave please do
 not spin! In YOUR
 honor will drink fifth
 of gin, while watching
 old movie called, "Gunga Din!"
 
 Oh, Mister Orwell!
 Commissars are back!
 Nine in robes, all with
 color of black! On We,
 the People have
 launched an attack!
 Enough bodies in
 barn yard to stack!
 
 Oh, Mister Orwell!
 Please come visit me!
 Am I a prisoner of
 thinking I am free?
