Updated Version Poem by Ima Ryma

Remember the old Aesop tale
Of ants that constantly did work,
While the grasshopper did avail
Of doing nothing - what a jerk!
Today in twenty twenty one
The grasshopper does nothing still.
While ants still get lots of work done,
All the grasshopper does is chill,
Knowing that the U.S.A. Gov
Will send him food stamps and a check,
And he can take advantage of
The bureaucracy - what the heck!

The ants work and pay Gov its share,
And Gov pays grasshopper welfare.
