The Three Wise Guys
Three wise Neocon guys,
Put the Nation to sea in a bowl;
To Iraq war we now rushed,
The bowl was then flushed.
Mission Accomplished, he gushed.
Now can't get us out of the hole.
William's Whimsical Words:
They sang WMD as they took us to sea.
The words were wrong, as was the song.
If the neocon-men had been brighter,
Our burden would now be lighter.
