The Wise Guys
Three wise Neocon guys,
Put the Nation to sea in a bowl;
To Iraq war we now rushed,
The bowl was then flushed.
Mission Accomplished, he gushed.
Now can't get us out of the hole.
Two guys are now gone,
But The Deciders linger on.
To Iran their focus turns,
While Kabul wanes, Baghdad burns.
Another War would they sow,
While the People tell them: No!
Heh, huh, heh, huh, heh, huhhuh, huh, heh, huh, heh, huhhuh.
William's Whimsical Words:
If neo-con-men were brighter,
Our burden would be lighter.
