Plugs And Receptacles

They* made us as plugs and receptacles,

and it turned out a viable scheme for a spell.

Receptacles having all the power,

all was well.

But the plugs started getting uppity:

Why shouldn’t we be the ones in power?

(Which they were already, if they’d stopped to think,

from time to time.)

Oh those plugs were a clueless crew,

they called the receptacles bad names,

and behaved badly toward them too.

Nobody got enough peace and quiet,

the whole world being disturbed.

Let us strive for an egalitarian solution.
