Blingle, Blingle, Halliburton.
Your bottom line is never hurtin'
Protected by The Man on high.
Procurement Regs. you may defy.

Tinkle, Tinkle, US Army.
Halliburton connection's smelling smarmy.
Since your spine has turned to jelly.
Feel free to pee upon your belly.

William's Whimsical Words:

Guess who pays for Profiteering?
It's me and thee that get a shearing.
