Zootopia Leslie Biddle

Spivvy Poohead is the prime minister elected In the Zootopian kingdom of mUGH; As a gadfly he is ego-directed And he thrives on a love-me drug. King Lawksamercy is the head of state (With mad-hatter flunkeys at court); He's a popular source of an annual debate With his family on income support. Welcome to the Zootopian kingdom of mUGH, where the citizens - ruled by King Lawksamercy and their elected leader, Spivvy Poohead - find themselves dragged into wars they don't understand, overshadowed by smoky domes of doom and opressed by a media culture of glamshitology. Those who can still think for themselves are comforted only by laughchoke - or satire - of which this collection of poetry is a sterling example.
