A poem to teach the younglings (Idea from starknight_one)

See the queens in crimson wool
And the boys in fur and hat
A wealthy man is always full
The tailor sleeps, plump as a cat

We walked upon the desert sands
Carefree in nudeness, picking fruit
What Jason crafted with his hands
He seeks to cover, coat and boot

My child, the word is modesty
For he would rather see us dressed
Then abandon civil things
Retreat to naked casualty

If she makes clothes she will be snug
And so less food she will consume
Or be confined upon a rug
In a well insulated room

Listen child, the queen's mistake
Is in the crown upon her head
She may say "Let them eat cake"
But soon she'll freeze and drop down dead

Take a message from the hare
His furs will keep him warm
And since he is not cold and bare
He'll never come to harm

See the wolves a-trotting by
And see that they are fit and strong
If you harvest their fine fur
Then you, too, will prosper long

My dear child, take a cart and snare
And hurry to the yellow-gold
Borrow from the timid hare
And you will not be cold
