Dickie & the Death Squad

DEATH SQUAD

Dick Cheney knew of a secret squad
That did assassinations.
It got the A-OK from him
And flew to foreign nations
To knock off people Dick agreed
Should not be sucking air—
While Dick the Diabolical
Stayed hidden in his lair,
A musky room deep in the earth
Away from prying eyes
Of congressmen and senators—
And also Google spies.

  1. That MinnPost.com article is really disturbing. I'm worried about this, too, though I'm not sure it's poem material yet:

  3. Thanks for the links, Julie. There have been a number of things that I've heard or read about lately that I've found disturbing. It's hard to keep track of them all.

    I read that piece over at Salon.com. I had heard all about that subject on Countdown last night. I find it deeply troubling!!!
