The Jabberwonks
The Jabberwonks
'Twas bush league, and the slimy droves
Of rightwingnuts loved condibabe;
While powells, ashcrofts, cheneys, roves,
And rumsfelds abu ghraib.
"Beware the Jabberwonks, my son!
Their clauses mean, their verbs agree --
Beware the tax!" said Forty-one;
"... the facts!" heard Forty-three.
He took his verbal word in mouth
Long time the media he conned:
He grinned and quipped "If there's no script
Then I need not respond!"
He stood there not responding when
The Jabberwonks showed photographs
Of tortured captives Rummy's men
Had tormented for laughs.
"Just one or two! At most a few!"
The verbal word denied, denied,
Denied command of those it canned
And, in courts martial, tried.
"And hast thou gamed the Jabberwonks,
With talk of honor where there's none;
Is oil still squirtin' for Halliburton?
Oh, what a good job you've done!"
'Twas bush league, and the slimy droves
Of rightwingnuts loved condibabe;
While powells, ashcrofts, cheneys, roves,
And rumsfelds abu ghraib.
