The W and the Cheney

« on: July 05, 2005, 12:59:19 PM »

"The W and The Cheney"

The Cons were shining in each chamber,
Governing with all their might:
They did their very best to shift
The SCOTUS to the Right--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of economic plight.

The Libs was whining sulkily,
Because they thought each Con
Had got no business to be there
Despite the mid-terms they won--
"We’ll throw up a filibuster," they said,
"That will spoil their fun!"

The Hudson was wet as wet could be,
Manhattan was dry as dry.
You could not see the Twin Towers, because
No Tower was in the sky:
No airliners were flying overhead--
No clearance was given to fly.

The W and the Cheney
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
So many Muslims in the sand:
"If this religion were wiped away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven generals with seven armies
Bombed them for half a year.
Do you suppose," the W said,
"That they would disappear?"
"Make it so!" said the Cheney,
As he ordered Rumsfeld near.

"O Democrats, come to war with us!"
The W did beseech.
"Give up your constitutional responsibility,
Across the world we’ll reach:
We cannot do with much debate,
To give a voice to each."

The eldest Democrat looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Democrat passed the buck,
And shook his empty head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To have the Democrats bled.

But four young Democrats hurried up,
All eager to give a speech:
Their teeth were brushed, their faces washed,
Their suits were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
Their very words they would eat.

Four other Democrats followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they caved at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping up the Capitol steps,
And scrambling to vote for war.

The W and the Cheney
Stalled four months or so,
And then they nullified the UN
Telling the French where to go:
And all the little Democrats stood
And feared the wrath of Rove.

"The time has come," the W said,
"To talk of many things:
Of Baghdad--and Tehran--and Pyongyang
Of the House of Saud--and kings--
And why the price of oil is boiling hot--
And whether scuds have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Democrats cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For all of us are out of ideas,
And don't know this from that!"
"No hurry!" said the Cheney.
They kissed his feet and sat.

"Another tax cut," the W said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Guns and butter besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Democrats dear,
We can begin the bleed."

"But not from us!" the Democrats cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After making us irrelevant, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The Oval Office is mighty fine," the W said.
"I do admire the view.

"It was so kind of you to come!
And your support’s been very nice!"
The Cheney said nothing but
"Call in Condi Rice:
I wish Colin were not so naive--
I've had to warn him twice!"

"It seems a shame," the W said,
"How I wanted one last kick,
After the dawn of the Ides of March,
Their slap-down came so quick!"
The Cheney said nothing but
"The pork’s been spread too thick!"

"Your base rebukes you," the W said:
”You will be deeply chastised."
With snubs and sneers he cut
Entitlements of the largest size,
Holding the latest poll numbers
Before his twinkling eyes.

"O Democrats," said the Cheney,
"This has been too much fun!
Shall you be trotting to the Hill again?"
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd vanquished every one.
