Sheeple
Sheeple
Sheeple are a common breed or herd
forming the greater part of humanity´s resevoir
They flock to the latest craze
and will do what anyone says
Incapable of original thought
they go in search of a Shepherd to follow
The unscrupulous see them coming
and welcome them into the fold
Sheeple are really people in disguise
wearing the garb of conformity and willingness
When asked to jump, they ask how high
Bereft of any original thought
they drift through life quite lost
Rudderless souls in search of a Captain
docile, compliant and easily influenced
they bring tyrants to power
fight wars they know not what for
and seldom travel very far

yes Keith - I just made it up - you read it here first!
Kevin - according to Wikipedia the word 'sheeple' dates to the 1940's which surprised me as I thought it was much more recent than that.
I don't advocate throwing anything from steeples btw. And lemmings committing mass suicide is fake news. But I digress. It's Father's Day and I'm being allowed to do what I want so I'm keeping out the hot sun and chilling with my lappy in a quiet corner.
Enjoy your Sunday,
