Hiding his sorrows and joys in the box, 
Reynard runs through the forest with the fox 
to outwit Wolfgard and his gang of thieves 
while reprogramming how his brain perceives 
conceptual objects by language defined 
to contain energy with words that bind. 

Laughing at absurdity of his pride 
that no one has ever seen when he cried, 
Reynard prances on the snow-frosted hill 
while his father pays the electric bill 
for all the Christmas lights on the dead tree 
that should symbolize how we must live free. 

Tricking the Wolf God and his raucous gang 
with wild story about how Marie sang 
grand revolutionary hymn to save the world, 
Reynard wears new mask of the cosmic herald 
to preach salvation from the moneyed class 
who all get frozen while they pray at mass. 

Shopping at glittery stores in the mall 
while his horse waits patiently in the stall, 
Reynard calculates the profit and loss 
our nation suffers when the greedy boss 
underpays everyone for labor done 
in service to the Master with the Gun. 

Writing spells to mock proud men in gray suits 
who disdain workers in their dirty boots, 
Reynard learns fierce art of social satire 
from Satyrus who was born from the fire 
that burned the City of Angels to dust, 
commemorated by one marble bust. 

Kicking soccer ball of global success 
into the tangled net of More is Less, 
Reynard plays violin while Jesus blinks 
to mourn that our hijacked Ship of State sinks 
till the mutinous traitor Midas cries 
as Lucifer hangs him under blue skies. 

Watching the seagull dip and pivot him 
over Brooklyn Bridge where angels sing hymn 
to support grand mission of Liberty, 
Reynard chronicles the brute tyranny 
that betrays all the noble principles 
which America uses to grift fools. 

Weeping with sorrow as last Argonaut 
when Wolfgard assassinates Lancelot, 
Reynard grabs Spear of Longinus to fight 
against Midas for God and Truth and Right, 
till he storms Pyramid of One-Eyed God 
to expose his goodness as clever fraud.
