The American plan is quite clear;
We bomb and we buy till they hear.
Pipelines and oil
We find on their soil,
For Dubya holds these things dear.

Said Brian "What will be, will be...
If they bomb our popcorn factory!
We'll not eat popcorn
While we're not watching porn,
All the while we're not watching TV.

I had feared that the rubber-stamp Congress
Would say little and then respond less,
To the first-strike attack
George wants for IRAQ,
But there's reason to hope that's a wrong guess.
--- Dr Limerick

A Congressional veteran, Murtha,
Said, "Let's pull out now and, still furtha.
It's okay if we run
While our mission ain't done.
Call it 'Semper Fi' but in revertha."
--- John Miller

George Bush is the name of our president.
His policies on peace are non-existent.
When it came to Iraq,
He was quick to attack,
But in fixing New Orleans, he's hesitant.
--- Jennifer Jacob

The plan was in place and rehearsed,
In case worse had come to the worst.
When time came to call out
And hide from the fall out,
The plan was Republicans first.

In a trophy room interns should dread,
George Dubya gleefully said:
"This proves that I've won
'Cause I've got Saddam's gun.
Still, I'd rather have mounted his head."
--- Virge

Said King George to Crown Prince Abdullah:
"Now don't give me none of your bulla.
Our Military might
Gives me the right --
Who cares 'bout the rag-headed mullah?"
--- Dr Limerick

"Saddam," said George, "you're a pain.
We will just have to bomb you again."
So he sent the Marines
To dig lots of latrines,
In the hope that they'd shit on Hussein.
--- Tony Kiek

There's a wee bit of Irish, they say,
Touching everyone's heart in some way,
Save for Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice
And their gang who're not nice,
Starting war on St Patrick's own day!
--- Lims for 2003

US President George Dubya Bush
Has a war that he hastened to push.
But the Sunni's attack
Has taken him aback
And he finds himself flat on his tush.
--- Tom Patton P0510Q

Testosterone levels are peaking
When Bush a new battle is seeking.
His little head rises;
The big one devises
A war, whose just cause needs some tweaking.
--- RanDog

Says Bush, "It's Iraqi skulduggery;
They are evil and cunning as buggery."
So his troops he paraded;
He bombed and invaded
In an act uf unparallelled thuggery.
--- John Dengate

I'm sure that you all will recall
The precedent on which we'll fall --
The Resolution of Tonkin
Got hardly no talkin';
And evidence? Nothing at all.
--- Dr Limerick 08-26-02

Dubya said, "It makes my blood boil,
To hear that we want Iraq's oil.
We'll just take some to pay
For my war, and each day
That our troops occupy Iraq's soil.
--- Lims for 2003

When Dubya was elected as President
On spurious votes -- that's self-evident --
To cover his shame,
He made war on Hussein,
With excuses egregiously magniloquent.
--- Bob Phillips

Then Bush destabilized the plan
With lies about a Mass D Weapon.
Now El Q runs amuck;
With this mess we are stuck,
And Bush his own thumb must suck. (playing switch)
--- Anon

A conflicted Prez was young Georgery
Who bumbled us through mideast wargery.
But when his country called,
He himself went AWOL
And his record he claimed was a forgery.
--- Buffytou

Said the chief of staff, "I've got a beef:
Those casualties give me much grief."
Said the Sec. of Defense,
"I'm not in charge, hence:
Take it up with the flight-suit-in-chief."
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0312

Young Dubya, who should have known better,
Sent Saddam a short bragging letter:
"Your WMD
Are too tiny to see.
In Texas they're bigger and better!"
--- Tony Kiek

The best Christmas greetings from me.
It may be the last one we see,
'Cause Mesopotamia's
Near turning uranious,
As Dubya begins World War III.
--- Tiddy Ogg

They told you men walked on the moon.
With Dubya and Blair facing doom
In the polls, in real trouble,
So catch Saddam's double,
And watch those opinion polls zoom.
--- Tiddy Ogg

I do not believe it's his double;
I don't mean to be bursting your bubble,
But it sure was a treat
And it tickeled your feet
And got Bush and Blair out of their trouble.
--- Nawahl

You betcha! You know what he needs
That to overcome Democrats leads,
By the "statesman" the 'Crats
Have fielded, that's stats
In the papers that eeveryone reads.
--- John Miller

Well, damned if I know about Blair.
He's British, so why should I care?
But if he dropped dead,
Would you come out ahead
Or have something worse in your hair?
--- John Miller

Or else some political chap
Who's spouting the usual crap,
Supporting his creed
Of power and greed,
And think's every voter's a sap.
--- John Miller

But try as they might they can't hide
That their ultimate mission defied
The rules that were set
By a UN gazette.
By the looks of it, justice has died.
--- Nawahl

Now, Saddam might have been a bad chap
Who now sits with his head in his lap.
But I'm very frustrated
And a little irated,
Of hearing from Bush and Blair's crap.
--- Nawahl

Now they highlight the crimes of Saddam
And denounce him the ultimate bum,
But forget not the hour
He was kept in power,
When with US, Kuwait he did numb.
--- Nawahl Razak

How can ordinary living go on
While the U.S. is waving its gun,
And Tony tells Britain
That war's only fittin',
And hurries to join in the fun.
--- Edwina Leer

But hundreds of millions worldwide
Are opposed to this mass homocide.
From nation to nation
Tomorrow's demonstration
Will show that with peace we're allied.
--- Edwina Leer

The anti-war crowd is immense;
With millions, the act was intense.
But God! Did you see
The billions, like me,
Not showing dumb signs, but good sense?
--- Travis Brasell

Bush vowed, with an eye on the polls,
To smoke terrorists out of their holes.
That's all well and good
And I wish that he would,
But I hope he has more precise goals.
--- Dr Limerick

This is file cxm

The "holes" calls to mind Vietnam
Where we dropped tons and tons of big bombs.
But we never knew
What we wanted to do.
At the end, it was we who succumbed.
--- Dr Limerick

As we march on Afghanistan's plains,
One hopes that in D.C., the brains
Can appoint a commission
To draft statement of mission
Beyond, "Get Bin Laden's remains!"
--- Dr Limerick

The future will slowly unwind;
We cannot be willfully blind;
We can't just tell when,
In one year or ten;
The exact date cannot be divined.
--- Dr Limerick 05-20-02

But your fear's an essential ingredient
To be used when we find it expedient.
When the Gops feeling hurt,
We'll call an alert,
To be broadcast by press corps obedient.
--- Dr Limerick 05-20-02

You Yankees think you are the greatest,
But checking out news of the latest;
Your leader's a twit
With barely a whit
Of intelligence; "He that doth hateth!"
--- Narni

That wimp of J. W. Bush
Will turn all of us into mush,
Over his love of war,
And the ultimate score
Will be humans en-masse turned to slush.
--- Narni

I send you a welcoming greet,
And warn you, be careful, my sweet.
My soft pussy paws
Hide razor sharp claws,
Which makes easy work of new meat.

Old George to his president son,
"Go fight that war I should have won,
In battle engage;
Because of your age,
You'll not even need your own gun."
--- Bob Birch P0302

"You're right, Dad, you do speak the truth,
We pay folks to fight tooth to tooth.
So the radical right,
Says let them fight our fight,
They are our expendable youth."

A sensuous dirty old man
Is old Asimov, writer and fan.
When he isn't creating,
He's probably mating,
Which he does whenever he can.

(Neal Wilgus challenge to Asimov)

Though I love John, the truth is he's base,
And within him there isn't a trace
Of rational quality,
Or decent morality,
Then too, that ridiculous face.
--- Isaac Asimov

What more shall I say of John Ciardi?
His humor is junk, his wit shoddy.
To speak of his mind
Would be most unkind,
And, God!, would you look at that body!
--- Isaac Asimov

To make friends with the lumpish John Ciardi,
Needs a spirit uncouth, rough, and hardy.
When in line for a bit
Of amusement and wit,
Did he get it? Why, no, he was tardy.
--- Isaac Asimov

To a dinner arrived fat John Ciardi
With only his appetite hearty.
Conversational ploys?
He had nothing but noise,
And he spoiled every bit of the party.
--- Isaac Asimov

There was a mad genius named Asimov,
Who suffered a curious spasm of
Sublimerickitis.
Herewith the detritus
He has leaped an unfathomable chasm of.
--- Isaac Asimov

What Asimov lacks of pure style,
He makes up for, well once in a while,
By the way he can bluster
From the depths of lackluster
To the almost transcendently vile.
--- John Ciardi

A young entertainer called Star,
In a pub, sang and danced on the bar.
The patrons were reeling;
Her costume revealing;
As fins and sawbucks filled her bra!

An old fairground busker named Joe
Used his voice to sell every side-show.
Fat ladies, small men,
A two headed hen;
It's a place for whole families to go.

Has a lot of new things she is planning.
After forty one years,
She'll do forty one beers,
And put out the fire she's been fanning.

The one with the glans and the scrota --
Now has a new section
To house the collection
Donated to by Carol Doda.

When I hear a DJ on the air,
Who sounds like he hasn't a care,
With a nice pleasant voice,
Playing discs of his choice;
I have a nice voice. It's not fair!
--- Arthur Pattaffy

A disc jockey's trivial chatter,
While spinning a musical platter,
Is jocund and gay
And earns him his pay,
But makes me as mad as a hatter.

When the world's greatest diver, Lou Gainis,
Came out and revealed his true gayness,
He said, "For a tough dive
Would be a muff dive,
An event I would find far too heinous."

A pass at the opposite sex
Is seldom made when she wears specs.
With such repartee
Did Dorothy P.
Extract The New Yorker's small cheques.

There once was a lady named Dottie
Whose love life was sad but naughty.
She sat 'round the table
With men who were able,
But the details remain a bit spotty.

Born with it, he couldn't escape.

Made visage RISIBLE,
Reddened by juice of the grape.

Doused himself in a coat of fresh diesel;

When he singed the Queen's hat,
And whistled 'God save the Weasel.'

Who was told which cave to avoid.

Recites his cliches like a parrot.
When the lady piano
Player kissed Danno,
He remarked, "If the woo fits then share it."

At the show two young ladies did focus
As Houdini presented his hocus.
When the show was completed,
The young girls remained seated.
They were waiting, they said, for the poke us.

Houdini just loved to debunk
The medium peddling junk
About the hereafter.
He would cause laughter
Showing how their magic stunk.

Others just say that he drools.

I'd listen every day,
But at work I'd lay just down my tools.
