    When little Timmy got a train
    "twas put beneath a tree
    Christmas day had fin’lly come,
    Such fun for all to see

    The poor were done, they knew no fun All stolen by some jerk(s)
    Their patience done, their time had come
    And quickly went to work

    Timmy’s dad had been quite bad
    He stole, and cheated and lied
    When they burned the system down,
    Little Timmy fucking died.

    Added context: “Little Timmy” is 35, has a cushy VP job in his dad’s company, and is lined up to be the next ceo. It was his suggestion to cut 50,000 jobs so he could collect a finders fee for “finding” unnecessary expenses.
