The poem by Minimus is called‚“Comrade Napoleon”‚ whereas the other is called‚ “Beasts of England”. “Beasts of England” is a piece about before the animals rebel and the hope that a revolution will bring them. “Comrade Napoleon”‚ however‚ is about after the animals insurgent and what life is like now.
