Little Bunny Foo Foo

CIA Operative SamBam
Stompin' through Afghanistan,
scoopin' up the Taliban
and boppin' em on the head.
And down came the Blue Fairy, and she said:

Mr. Secretary FoopFoop
I don't want to see your troop
scoopin' up the Taliban
and boppin' em on the head.
And now I'll give you two chances, and if you keep it up,
I'll turn you into a BUFFOON.

Major General GoGo
Took over in Guantanamo,
kept scoopin' up the prisoners
and boppin' em on the head.
And down came the Blue Fairy, and she said:

Lieutenant Colonel FooFoo
I don't want to see you
carryin' out your orders
and boppin' em on the head.
And now I'll give you one more chance, and if you do that again,
I'll turn you into a STOOGE.

Reserve Captain LackSlack

kept scoopin' up the Iraqis
and boppin' em on the head.
And down came the Blue Fairy, and she said:

Little Private BooHoo
I don't want to see you
scoopin' up the prisoners
and boppin' em on the head.
You disobeyed the Geneva Accords three times,
So now I'm gonna turn you into a SCAPEGOAT!

Iraqi prisoner at Abu Ghraib - Prisoner naked, dogs    Graner Court Martial


William's Whimsical Words:

When a SNAFU occurs in wartime, the privates are court martialed, the captains are reprimanded, the generals get medals, the secretary of defense is publicly praised, and the president gets another term. War is Hell!
