Dedicated to
no-nonsense nonsense
With the capture of Khalid Mohammed
My nerves have been markedly calm-ed
But they’d be calmer still
If, by drinking one’s fill,
Was the only way people got bomb-ed.

To Mr. Bush:

It isn’t the cause we deplore.
Your attack on Iraq is much more.
By asserting your right
To use milit’ry might,
It seems like you’re settlin’ a score

World opinion, you simply ignore,
Forgetting what “U.N.” stands for.
And you side-step a vote
Just to get France’s goat,
Spelling U.N. with “useless” once more.

It’s one thing, defending our shore
Or when imminent threat is in store,
But, by striking out first,
You’re displaying our worst;
All proving this isn’t
JUST war.

War - what is it good for?
Absolutely satire!

The Savant received the following responses from Jim McCulloch of the University of Texas. (Hey Jim, want a job? It doesn't pay, but the hours are long.)

The President says to be wary
Of wicked Saddam, who is very
Loathe to disarm
And will do untold harm
With weapons unseen--ergo--scary

Or this:

It would be USA's suicide
Cried the Prez, who seemed fit to be tied
If Saddam Hussein
Continues to reign.
Ah, but Bush may have--just slightly--lied.

Or this:

There was a trained poodle named Tony
Who was fed day and night with baloney
But despite all his training
He had trouble explaining
A war that was totally phony.
