You were formed on a plane, your greatest insights into tumbleweed
I came up in a crammed cesspool and saw where your ideas lead
All your animals are equally lesser, and from your works I've taken
You'll keep the goat for milk but condemn the pigs for bacon
Supposedly Nobel but in truth over all the facts you glaze
Your Vietnamese musings tame next to Burmese Days
Stine-beck here's a pale reflection, beyond a shadow of a doubt
I Keep the Aspidistra Flying but it seems its Moon is Down!

Now, I gotta admit. Those were some important issues your books addressed.
Still, you’re the second biggest British Blair to misrepresent the left.
I’ll leave you Down and Out, be it in Paris or London
Not that you ain’t used to shootin’ blanks. Shame you never had a young’un
Compare me to Stine? You’re more like E.B. White with your talking swine
Chumming up to your government, while I fought mine
Ask the FBI. My books packed quite a punch for their time
But homophobia? Now that’s gotta be a Thoughtcrime!

Your verse confirms your premonition, fatalist twat
Claim I'm shooting blanks but John, your tortilla fell flat
And of course a source of literary balls would award
"Driving force behind 1984" to Rex George, the gall!
When your Wrath subsided and your Grapes fermented
A single taste of the whine will show you meant it 
This isn't Of Mice and Men. Your vexation is of my accord. 
Victory here would be your second least merited award.

Whoa, there! Your fancy language sure aren't easy on the eyes
This is exactly why the common man prefers to read me, by the by
To make claims against our equality, you must be American Dreaming
Just missed the mark on superiority; You landed East of Eden
You wrote a book bashing Communism as if it was the stance you resent
In Dubious Battle with the political values you constantly claimed to represent!
You're in the Dustbowl now! No home comforts, eccentric jackets or tobacconists
So turn around, look at this desolate farm...
(The sound of a gun cocking is heard.)
...And think of the rabbits
