THE BEASTS (Sung to the tune of Rush's Trees, with thanks to Drewbot and apologies to Lee, Peart and Lieffson)
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the Beasts,
For the Brown Bears want more vittles!
And the 'Squatch ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the Brown Bears,
(And the thought just gets 'em rarin' )
They say the 'Squatch are just too giant
And they grab up all the carrion.
But Bigfoot(s) can't help their feelings
If they just don't give a hoot.
And they wonder why the Brown Bears
Can't be happy with tree roots.
There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures say "No More!",
As the Brown Bears scream "Oppression!"
And the Bigfoot(s) toss some boars.
So the Brown Bears formed a union
And expressed their earnest wish.
"The 'Squatch are just too greedy;
We will make them give us fish."
Now there's no more 'Squatch oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the Beasts are all kept equal
By tooth, fang and claw!
