"Collaborwocky": A Parody

Collaborwocky

‘Twas Fundie, and the Factophobes
Did hymn and amen in the pews.
All pious were the Five in robes,
With truth and Habeus askew.

Beware the Collaborwock, my friend,
The lies that grow, the wars that match.
Beware the Yesterbird, and shun,
The doddering Persiasnatch.

They took the faithful horde in hand,
Long time the gullible they sought,
Then rested they by the Jesus Tree,
And savored Fish they’d caught.

And as a secret oath they swore,
The Collaborwock, with eyes aflame,
Came praying down the corridor,
And vote grabbed as it came.

"One, two! One, two. Your Constitution will not do.
For faithless folk, repent your lack,
The pride you hold will give no clue,
The world you knew will not come back."

And who will slay the Collaborwock,
And take away their schemish toys?
"Oh, glorious day, our God's at play,"
They witness in their joy.

‘Twas Fundie, and the Factophobes,
Did hymn and amen in the pews.
All pious were the Five in robes,
With truth and Habeus askew.

Grabberwocky

'Twas Danzig, and the Swastikoves
Did Heil and Hittle in the Reich
All Nazi were the Lindengroves
And the Neurat Jewstreich.

Beware the Grabberwock, my Son
The Plans that spawn, the Plots that hatch,
Beware the JewJew Bird, and shun
The fuhrious Bundesnatch.

He took his Aryan Horde in Hand
Long Time the Gestapo He taught
Then rested He by the Baltic Sea
And stood awhile in Thought.

And as a Polish Oath they swore
The Grabberwock, with Lies aflame
Came Goering down the Corridor
and Goebbled as it came.

Ein, Zwei! Ein, Zwei! One in the Eye
For Polska Folk. Alas, alack!
He left them dread and as their Head
He came Meinkampfing back.

And hast thou ta'en thy Lebensraum?
Come to my Arms, my schemish Boy
Oh grabjous Day, Sieg Heil, be Gay
He strengthened through his Joy.

Twas Danzig, and the Swastikoves
Did Heil and Hittle in the Reich
All Nazi were the Lindengroves
And the Neurat Jewstreich.
