We fight them there instead of here,
But this war will become more severe;
Iran's snubbing its nose;
My impatience grows;
For more war, but I'll wait 'til next year.
--- Lew Rockwell

I've lied about healthcare and debt;
I've lied about weapons and threats.
I lie to you now;
I know no other way how
To belie the anti-Bush internets.
--- Lew Rockwell

I hold my opponent in the hightest regard.
He was in Nam. Me? National Guard.
But he says global test
And I say I won't rest
In fighting this war and it's hard!
--- Lew Rockwell

Please forget the Iraqis dismembered,
Just remember the eleventh, September.
Kerry wants govenment big
And as weak as a twig;
So remember, Vote Bush this November.
--- Lew Rockwell

Old Dubya is in hot pursuit
Of the job that will bear him much fruit.
His goal he says -- education,
Big Tobacco and NRA teach our nation,
Just how to smoke and to shoot.
--- Dad

Where to let contracts, Bush found solutions;
It's hard not to think of collusions,
When each contract lands
In the manicured hands,
Of those who made campaign contributions.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0407

Let's see how each CEO crook,
Who faked the big corporate book,
Will fare there in court.
Since he's come up short,
I'm guessing he'll get off the hook.
--- Chris Papa

WorldCom saw a green light
At the fetes of inaugural night;
As they danced the last dance,
They saw their big chance
With the prospects of punishment slight.
--- Dr Limerick

The passage of time will reveal
More examples of people who feel
Bush vs. Gore
Opened the door
When accounting rules all were repealed.
--- Dr Limerick

The WorldCom executives say,
"Hey, what about Skilling and Lay?
If they ain't indicted,
The inference invited:
"For friends of the Prez, crime will pay."
--- Dr Limerick

The U.N. passed a resolution
Many thought a fair solution.
Dubya smirked his smirk;
Said, "I'll off that jerk.
It'll help our crude oil distribution."
--- Anon

As Dubya's Dubai port deal falls,
Most Merkins thought he had big balls,
To cause such a flurry,
But we needn't worry...
He eavesdrops on all their phone calls.
--- Anon

Make accountants accountable! See
You get auditors audited! We
Learn the Bush paradigm,
To fight corporate crime.
But then what should executives be?
--- Anon

I'm predicting that my S.E.C.
Exonerates Cheney and me;
They'll whitewash a while,
Then nod, wink, and smile,
And say we're as clean as can be.
--- Dr Limerick

Farewell to two thousand and two;
Trent Lott and Enron bad adieu.
Priestly scandals abounding,
Foreign dictators hounding,
And layoffs are making me blue.
--- Lynn Mostafa

Slow justice is Justice denied;
And though it seems logic defied
The sum of all fears,
It surely appears
That very few ever'll be tried.
--- Chris Papa

And those tried will even insist,
Each was but a philanthropist.
And judge will agree,
(He's paid off, you see.)
And give them a tap on the wrist.
--- Chris Papa

Mr Halliburton said he was pissed;
That out on this contract they missed.
So Cheney went out
So see what was about,
And settle this time he'd been dissed.
--- Mad Poet

To my words Dubya Bush, you must harken;
The hounds of suspicion are barkin'.
Of your insider trading
The proof isn 't fading,
And the true facts, your image will darken.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

The lot of them should go to jail,
The CPA's puffing the sail;
The lawyers and such
With their legal touch,
That still keep them out free on bail.
--- Chris Papa

So DPWorld bought out a Brit
Firm for some cash, quite a bit.
The land of free trade
And free speech is dismayed,
And Congress starts throwing the shit.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Politicians don't think it's a fit dish
To serve to the people; they're skittish.
But then there's reports
We're just freeing the ports,
For the tight-fisted rule of the British.
--- John Miller

Now what might I mean by "tight fisted?"
A firm stand when unions insisted
On exorbitant pay,
To goof off all day,
Or kickbacks politely resisted?
--- John Miller

Dear Dubya will rant and will rail,
"Those executive thieves we must nail."
But it's all just talk;
At action he'll balk
'Cause he won't put his buddies in jail.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0208

Dubya claims he'll exact retribution
From crooks in the financial institution.
Tell me why, I pray,
That as of today,
There are still no indictments in Houston.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

George Senior had never defected
From the lure of his oil interests protected.
He called on his son,
George Dubya, the gun,
To play with his toys, once elected.
--- Andy Sammut

We struck oil! We just hit! And hit big!
Our accountant is doing a jig.
The energy biz
Takes a real money whiz.
The next step is to rig our finance...finance our rig.
--- Anon

Dubai running our ports makes me wince.
Bush wants it, and words he won't mince.
So that's where he stands;
The guy who holds hands
With a Saudi Arabian prince.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun

As Bush read his corporate speech,
The markets found new lows to reach.
His proposals are toothless
And executives, ruthless,
Will laugh as the new regs they breach.
--- Dr Limerick

The campaign shows no signs of strife;
We need conflict to bring it to life.
Bring in Tom DeLay;
He'll have plenty to say;
He can bring both his hooker and wife.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0411

Those AVATARS of Wall Street shame;
The brokers who would shift the blame
To CEO friend,
Whose favors extend
To let them in their greedy game.
--- Chris Papa

Corporate cronies, like peas in a pod,
Fleeced investors at home and abroad.
When the markets crashed down,
They packed up to leave town,
To avoid being strung up for fraud.
--- Betty Ann Cansano

But before they were ready to go,
They seeded their wallets with dough,
Hid their booty in haste
To prevent being traced,
For they heard that you reap what you sow.
--- Betty Ann Cansano

This is file chm

An accountant from Glasgow named Mac
Told his client, "It must be a hack,
For your company is
Doing excellent bizz.
It should be quite well in the black!"
--- Alexander Baron

Fines for fraud should be made very high,
But our lawmakers simply won't try.
They're awfully benign
Toward white collar crime,
Because, "There, if l'm caught, will go I."
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

King George did a favor for Jebby,
To trick local voters to think, maybe
For oil they'll not drill,
But we all know they will,
Right after the votes of Novembie.
--- Dr Limerick 05-30-02

Were Anderson and Enron in bed,
While investors were being misled?
SEC's seeking proof
But the two stay aloof
From the Feds who cannot find a shred.
--- Limerick Savant

When Enron and such all imploded,
And the stockholders' money eroded,
CEOs, with a sneer,
Had an excellent year,
Claiming, "I didn't know it was loaded."
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0209

Enron shouldn't have been in the red;
"Things are peachy," the auditors said.
Arthur Anderson's guys
Had their tricks and their lies,
But integrity? Hardly a "shred."
--- Larry Hollister

It's a risk to invest, so we're told;
Just like Enron, your fortune might fold.
When your own CEO
Rips you off, you should know
To get even, wait 'til he's paroled.
--- Larry Hollister

When push came to shove, Kenneth Lay,
Swept morality out of the way.
The investors he'd wooed
Were now totally screwed.
And now where will the poor Astros play?

(Astros played in Enron Stadium)
--- Larry Hollister

Substantial donations to Bush
May have given these fellows a push.
Giving money to Cheney
Was also quite brainy,
But everyone's now saying "Shush!"
--- Larry Hollister

Since you're leaving, we're all going to miss you,
And the best of good fortune we wish you.
'Cause the value today
Of you 401-k
Is a tad less than one Kleenex tissue.
--- Larry Hollister

Government; Business is fun
Bean Counters say "Diligence done!"
They look straight in your eyes
And tell you their lies.
Then take the money Enron!
--- Richard E Olsen

General Thomas E White
Made power's price soar overnight,
To rape California
Of its cpa-cornia
And collet lots of cash for the Right.
--- Dr Limerick 05-08-02

Dubya says corporate wrongs should be righted,
Lest the public's faith would be blighted.
With Skilling, Lay, and Fastow,
Using Enron as their cash cow,
How come nobody in Houston's been indicted.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

BALNEOLOGY, says polymath,
May not have a good aftermath.
For post dot.com con
And dear old Enron,
All investors have taken a bath.
--- Daniel Ford

How apt should a corporate logo be?
It should show a firm's philosophy.
Ken Lay made a perfect choice
As he rode in his Rolls Royce;
For Enron, he used the crooked E.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

Bush and Cheney want people to think
Between Enron and them, there's no link.
GAO asks for info;
The Bushes say "Hell No"!
Their refusal is causing a stink.
--- Parker Waterman P0203

If you had any lingering notion
That Bush would show zeal and devotion
To clearing the air
Over his tender care
Of Enron, just dump that emotion.
--- Dr Limerick 02-05-02

We don't need no special prosecutor!
My DOJ trouble-shooters,
Will follow the money
Like flies after honey,
And see that our traces are obscutered.
--- Dr Limerick 02-05-02

As the White House is coming unraveled,
Senator Lieberman as chairman, has gaveled
The committee vote
To demand the whole tote,
At which the poor Bushies have caviled.

(Lieberman has subpoened Enron records)
--- Dr Limerick 05-22-02

The smoking-gun memo's been found;
It shows Enron's plan for its pound
Of Golden State flesh;
Electricity's mesh
Will not work if some plants we shut down.
--- Dr Limerick 05-07-02

Enron did a fierce evil deed,
A ghoulish GOLCONDA of greed,
With stealing obscene,
The CEO's preen,
While honest employees just bleed.
--- Chris Papa

Ex-Enron employees are delighted;
Perhaps a great wrong will be righted.
What greedy men wrought,
Will be exposed in court;
Bush's Kenny Boy HAS been indicted.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0408

Enron's CEO, Kenneth L Lay,
Is having a very bad day.
His accounting is funny;
He ran out of money;
A judge will soon put him away.
--- Parker Waterman P0203

The lawyers who counsel Kenneth Lay
Came forward this morning to say
He won't testify
And the reason why
Is that Senators minds he can't sway.
--- Dr Limerick 02-03-02

They must have forgotten to mention
That Lay would be smart for abstention.
Revelations each day
Make it evident Lay
Will be spending some time in detention.
--- Dr Limerick 02-03-02

Someone should warn Kenneth Lay,
The Senate's a poor place to play
On-upmanship games;
These Senator aim
To teach him they'll brook no delay.
--- Dr Limerick 02-04-02

The guys who fostered Enron's dissolution,
We fear were granted blanket absolution.
Mr Lay and his minions,
Keep ill-gotten millions;
Is this linked to campaign contribution?
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

Since the rape of the Enron institution,
There's been no hint of trial or retribution.
Skilling, Faskow and Lay,
Go on their merry way;
This is linked to campaign contributions.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0209

A year past the energy crisis,
At last, FERC will view the devices
Used by Enron, et alia,
To cause market failure,
Yielding cash of which Bush got large slices.
--- Dr Limerick 02-13-02

Kenneth Lay, who's the QB of Enron,
Knew just what to spend extra cash on;
To the GOP
He gave lavishly,
As Anderson fell for his end run.
--- Dr Limerick 12-03-01

Unaware the firm's on its last legs,
The employees put in their nest eggs.
But Kenneth was selling
And surely not telling,
Their savings would soon be goose eggs.
--- Dr Limerick 12-03-01

Just how Enron went down for the count,
While executives spared no amount
Of stockholders savings,
To sate their own cravings;
Even Anderson cannot account.
--- Limerick Savant

There once was a Washington twit
Whose policy smelled just like shit.
We sink in depression;
Free speech in supression.
Solution? Professional hit.
--- Hugh Clary

You're taking grave risks if you say
That the pinhead who runs U.S.A.
Should be snuffed. Ashcroft's guys
Will give you a surprise:
One-way trip to Guantanamo Bay.
--- Scott Cramer
