The Buyastats were everywhere,
they're down below and in your hair,
while some said in the color blue,
they're here and there, all saying boo!
And they say boo! Boo, boo, boo-boo.
Like tiny pico minabites,
suppressing noise that's colored white,
I feel like crying Boo, Boo-Who.
Ubiquitous these Buyastats
that know just when and where you're at.
No porn or bets for all will know,
there's no time now for "whack the mole".
The worst kind of brutality,
preforced religiosity,
a rise in snottioscapee,
enforced, absurd morality.
So kill all of the Buyastats,
take gun in hand, just where you're at,
oh damn this really ruins my day,
the government took guns away.

I did stumble a bit in the last stanza since I don't normally say "roons" or "gummint," but - given the statistical quintiles of my current income, politics, and living arrangements - perhaps I should. Oddly, Google turns up ads for "static caravan" rentals when queried with "buyastat." Apparently the Brits have trailer trash, too (but unlike this commenter, they don't have guns [Ed. - Sure they don't
].)
