Plantain Republic
Plantain Republic
Codify law to control the climate
When and how to urinate
Arrest who defy the laws
Exempt king’s kin and in-laws
Erect control towers to watch
Employ police to check at each hatch
Open thousands of court
So king can remain safe in the fort
King’s clan be police and judge
Queen should then have no grudge
Keep people under stress
So they forget all the distress
Make more and more laws so useless
Citizens’ life be worthless
Enact rules to eat and drink
Mass and poor get shrink
Prescribe procedure to sleep
One should always get down so slip
No one should wake up without permission
Plantain Republic will fulfill its mission
Taxes on dream, hiccups and sneeze
Penalty on king’s quiz
Rules will be flexible like a spring
Different for destitute and devil’s offspring
Codify law to control the climate
Populace must be God’s intimate
We are truly a democratic republic
Though it’s a plantain republic
We do for everything but the public
Greater than a banana republic
