A soldier named Patrick O'Hare,
Said, "Here's an investment that's rare--
These War Bonds mean taps
For Nazis and Japs,
Yet--ask for your dough and it's there."

There was a machinist named Harry
Who worked in a steel mill at Gary.
And always on pay day,
Instead of a play day--
He bought all the Bonds he could carry!

A cheerful old mammy named Hannah,
Who'd lived eighty years in Savannah,
Said--"Sho' nuff, I'll buy
Defense bonds, 'cause I
Am in love with the Star Spangled Banner!"

A far-seeing fellow named Fred,
Bought a bond, with a dollar, and said:
"Without being too thrifty,
I'll soon pay the fifty,
And then I'll be that much ahead."

There was a young fellow named Jim,
Whose old-age savings were slim.
But one day he got wise,
And since then he just buys
Every bond that is offered to him.

A wood carver named Mr Whitler,
Said--"This is the way to stop Hitler;
Defense Bonds and Stamps
Will soon make that scamp's
Advances get littler and littler."

My godmother's mate was lost there;
At the Burma Hump, he hadn't a prayer.
She was never the same,
Though I remember her name;
She lived out her life in despair.

We Brits fought the Nazis alone,
For two years, so don't you make moan.
You want 'raqi oil?
Then on your own toil.
In two years, give us a phone.

Now where is the place where they say:
UN inspectors? No way!
We've chemical stocks
Off anthrax and pox.
That's right! It's the U. S. of A.
--- Tiddy Ogg

There's a false notion that has been sown --
America will be on its own.
It's the anti-war band
With its head in the sand,
That falsely claims that we'll be alone.
--- Al Bienstock

Bush's leadership has been thrilling.
To Saddem's enablers, that's chilling.
So they will not impede
What the US will lead --
A coalition of the willing.
--- Al Bienstock

Tonight I will tell you no jokes;
Instead bow my head for those folks
Maimed by the attack
We've made on Iraq;
Good people caught up in bad strokes.
--- John Miller

I cannot tell who's more insane,
Us or their leader Hussein.
To "get" just this man,
It looks like we plan
Putting millions in misery and pain.
--- John Miller

Perhaps we don't care, it's not us
(In war, it has always been thus);
Then consider the cost
Of the missiles we've tossed
And there's deeper costs we could discuss.
--- John Miller

Consider: one shot to the brain
Could take out this madman, Hussein.
But all sense withdraws
Because of our laws;
From action like this we refrain.
--- John Miller

Yet you know very well we'd rejoice
If a bomb were to silence his voice.
Although hundreds be maimed
Where the missle was aimed...
It seem like a very strange choice.
--- John Miller

I end with just one final principle:
NO ONE is truly invincible!
It can be a mistake
To poke at a snake --
Its venom can be reprehensible.
--- John Miller

Why all the Congressional show
Asserting the right to say so,
About war with Hussein,
When the vote made it plain
Neither house had the guts to say NO!
--- A N Wilkins P9102

Joe Smith, a Marine in Iraq,
Enjoyed riding camels bareback.
But their humps were so firm
That they killed all his sperm,
Sending him home medevac.
--- The Sailor P0310

America's friends have grown slack
Because of the war in Iraq;
However, with luck,
There's still a Canuck
Whose willing to give us a crack!
--- Anon

The lawless regime now in ruins,
Did fall from the acts of its doin's,
By soldier and tank.
I dare say I thank
Our forces to stop its renewin's.
--- Matthew Montchalin

But then, it was lawful enough.
If you make dictatorships tough,
Folks all must succumb,
Stay under the thumb,
It's now you've the anarchy stuff.
--- Matthew Montchalin

And if I may add to that rhyme,
Dictatorships may be a crime,
But if you want order,
Then seal off the border,
And make sure the trains run on time.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Beware if you cast the first stone,
The lawlessness state is your own.
What's that? Are you shocked?
There's millions of you locked
In prisons in Uncle Sam's zone.
--- Tiddy Ogg

The UN is not doing so great.
Most all want winds of war to abate.
While Saddam chews knuckles,
He suppresses chuckles.
Like last time the catch words are coup wait.
--- Tom Patton P0304

Do you think a known criminal should
Carry a gun in your neighborhood?
Would you want him disarmed
Before your family's harmed?
Yes, of course -- any sane person would.
--- Al Bienstock

As the world grows smaller each day,
Safety must be addressed a new way.
Our neighborhood's global;
Dirty bombs are mobile,
And an armed tyrant is not okay.
--- Al Bienstock

Internationally, It's Saddem
Who's the armed criminal -- with a bomb.
I don't know how we
Can let Saddem go free --
We must use force to make him disarm.
--- Al Bienstock

It seems that his doubles were counted,
First once, and then twice, and recounted.
And aiming we struck --
We hit him -- such luck!
A bull's eye! So let's be astounded.
--- Matthew Montchalin

If terrorists make their attacks,
The whores in their ramshackle shacks
Are ready for trouble;
They've bent over double
And carefully duct-taped their cracks!
--- Travis Brasell

Now what you say's right, because Suzy
Did just what you said, and felt woozy.
She used the tape (duct)
But still she got fucked,
For they blew it away with their Uzi.
--- Lightbulb

Last week two great battles were fought
To unseat evil leaders who've bought
Support for a while,
Using cunning and guile;
At first glance we've the victories sought.
--- John Miller

Far away we attacked to contain
Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein.
Here billions were blown
But he's still on the throne.
And we'll soon have to do it again.
--- John Miller

This is file fbl

With Saddam's regime on the run,
The yanks failed to find smoking gun.
Now when it's Castro's turn
Then their fingers won't burn,
As they're looking for a smoking nun.
--- Anon

Saddam, the mid-east malefactor,
He's always been a bad actor.
He tried to GLOM
A nuclear bomb
After Israel wrecked his reactor.
--- Norm Brust

Saddam in his grammar school days,
Perfected his devious ways.
The rumor is that
He gassed the school's cat,
And set all the inkwells ablaze.
--- Graham Lester

They tell us that we're the Great Satan;
Their worship is hardly abating.
They throw hand grenades
At our soldiers and aides,
To assist in our swift Pearly Gating.
--- Tiddy Ogg

But Satan to them's a buffoon,
A moron, a half-wit, a loon.
I put it to you,
That seems pretty true,
(Referring to Dubya, the goon).
--- Tiddy Ogg

I guess your assessment is fair,
But who else do we have with the flair
That might set us right,
And show us the light,
Compared to the genius of Blair?
--- John Miller

The danger with which he's been flirtin'
Isn't worth all the rules he's been skirtin'.
If his radars come on,
He can count them all gone;
You can rest assured Saddam is hurtin'.
--- Anon

In Baghdad, they found in a basement
Some autos, that to their amazement,
Were untouched by rust,
Yet covered by dust,
When somehow they suffered defacement.
--- Matthew Montchalin

And video pictures revealed
How well the garage had been sealed,
To keep poor folks out,
For none were allowed
Lest some of them drive away "wheeled."
--- Matthew Montchalin

Though, true, we've seen nary a trace
Of bad man Saddam's ugly face,
He could be around
Somewhere underground,
No doubt 'tween Iraq and a hard place!
--- Matthew Montchalin

Don't EVER think we are so strong,
We can rest on our laurels for long.
Some one like Iraq
Could launch an attack,
And prove all our arrogance wrong.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

C Hitchens has promised no war;
Just intervention is all that we score.
Emancipation I say
Will come in a day.
Right now, it's the Left I deplore.
--- Dave Winer

The Iraq War we don't count as a loss,
Over this point we shouldn't now gloss:
We've caused millions great pain
Just to punish Hussein.
It's so good that we've shown him who's boss...
--- John Miller

There once was a man from Iraq
Who must've smoked way to much crack.
I hope he is damned
For his terrorist plans;
Please blow his punk ass off the map.
--- Eydol

There's just one way to deal with Iraq,
But to where do you bomb them all back?
If you stop way too soon,
Like George Bush did, the goon;
Until they're all in Hell, just attack.
--- Tomer Shiran

Security at Heathrow Airport
Fills the people with fear and exhorts
The cause. But the "Times"
Fills up the mob's mind
With Celebs and Gossip and Sport.
--- Stefan Marianski

There's tanks on the streets in the hunt
For terrorists. Blair, stupid cunt,
Is ass-licking Bush
And wants him to push
The button. It's us bear the brunt.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Despite the reports in the news,
This war ain't about oil or Jews,
Or weapons of Mass
Destruction. Alas!
Iraq has a flock of fine ewes.
--- Travis Brasell

Well now, this suits me just fine.
Please tell me where I have to sign.
You ain't gonna keep
Me away from those sheep;
You'll find me there in the front line.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Let's rescue each warm, woolly mammal.
Or else, as we know, old Saddam'll
Harems to keep us
From sheepus and lepus
Or even from one lusty camel.
--- Travis Brasell

Iraq OK'd weapons inspection
As a ploy to create misdirection,
From what Lampsos has said
About Saddam in bed,
And her failure of missile detection.
--- Anon

Hussein is the duck of Iraq;
Spends all day just washing his back.
He drills so much oil...
Makes Mr. Bush boil,
But soon we will have the last quack.
--- Anon

Iraq's Al-Sahhaf slyly fled
And off from Damascus he sped.
"See, I told you we'd win.
Won't you please let me in?"
"Sir, you cannot be Syria's," they said.
--- Graham Lester

To defend 'gainst the terrorist pack,
We need soldiers to cover our back.
But we don't have enough
Troops who have the right stuff,
Because Bush sent them all to Iraq.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0411

I've come up with a devilish plan,
That may fool that crazy Saddam.
Let's put Ogg and a sheep,
On some Baghdad Street;
He'll will think it's a battering ram.
--- John Henry

The long diplomatic PALAVER
On Saddam as nuclear haver,
Is threateded by Bush,
Whose agressive push
Would leave old Saddam a cadaver.
--- Daniel Ford

Abu was a vision obscene,
With will and intent to demean.
But away he was blown
In the free fire zone,
Done in by a U S Marine.
--- The Sailor P0308

Cried Bush, "Let us level Iraq,"
Before they have time to strike back.
Civilians we'll slaughter,
Each son and each daughter,
I want a preemptive attack!"
--- Bob Birch P0302

In Iraq, now that voting is done, (2005)
The question is not just who won,
But can they unite
To abandon the fight
With a true rule of law, not of gun.
--- Limerick Savant

In Baghdad few tears have been shed
And hookers are giving free head.
Girls perform ululation
In great celebration,
Now that Qusay and Uday are dead
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0308

I told you invading Iraq'll
End up in a total debacle.
Not even cheap oil
For the blood sweat and toil.
It's total achievement: faq'll.
--- Anon

Saddam, when he's launching his scuds,
Now and then finds that some are just duds;
About one in fifty
Are slow and un-swifty,
And fall to the ground and just "thuds."
--- Gary Hallock

Sean Penn, a guest of Saddam's Iraq,
Dissed Dubya in a stupid attack.
Not even Madonna,
His ex-wife, would wanna
Stoop so low as to welcome him back.
--- Al Bienstock

When you go to the polls in Iraq,
Bring a friend who can cover your back.
Don't dally or linger;
Make your mark; dip your finger
And Shiite from Shinola keep track.
--- Martin Wellborn
