TERRORWOCKY

'Twas snafu, and the slithy oil
Held Bush and Cheney in its wabe;
All Rumsy were the bureauboil,
And the moans wracked Abu Ghraib.

"Beware the Terrorwock, my friends!
The germs that bite, the WMD!
Ensure the Patriot Act defends
Homeland Security!"

Bush took Halliburton's staff in hand;
Long time the Saddam foe they sought.
They arrested he, by the Humhum Vee,
And jailed the Baaths they caught.

And as they effed the stuffish jails,
The Terrorwock, with bags aflame,
Came whiffling through the Spanish rails—
Blair burbled as it came.

One two! One two! Not through, not through,
Halliburton's pals still hack Iraq!
The press embed, they hide the dead—
Our soldiers don't come back.

And have we slain the Terrorwock?
"To arms, to arms, Jim Beamish bloats!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
Bush chortles in their votes.

'Twas snafu, and the slithy oil
Held Bush and Cheney in its wabe;
All Rumsy were the bureauboil,
And the moans wracked Abu Ghraib.
