"16 Words"
Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 10:51 PM by batman
In response to "the brilliant and exceedingly compassionate" comments via "Condepublic Rice", I have written a little ditty that is meant to be sung to the old classic, "16 Tons" (with some more up to date lyrics). Let's just hope that we Americans devote the same energy and money exposing this scandal as we did obsessing about Bill and little Bill, (if you catch my drift). But I'm sure that's a long shot. -No pun intended.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse
Condecenda writes another arrogant verse
She said “What’s the big deal? Why all the fuss?

-Because Bill’s little pecker didn’t kill any of us!!

“It’s just Sixteen Words”
but what do ya get?
Another dead soldier and we’re deeper in debt
Rummy don’t you call me cause I can’t go
I lost all the cash in my portfolio!!

They say the war’s over,- but there’s people still dyin’
But that won’t get the Resident W cryin’
With choice little quotes like “Bring em on” and “Lets roll”
It’s apparent that this idiots’ out of control

Sixteen Words
And Whadda ya get?
Another dead soldier and we’re deeper in debt
Rummy don’t you call me cause I can’t go
I lost all the cash in my portfolio!!

Now Tenet’s going down and he’s taking the fall
Cause Georgie said “the CIA’s been dropping the ball”
Ari says “he’s over it, and we should be too”
But I just can’t help but respond, F-YOU!!!

Sixteen Words
What do ya get?
Another dead soldier and we’re deeper in debt
Rummy don’t you call me cause I can’t go
I'm goin to a funeral of a friend I know
