HIGH STAKES POKER
Bush and Cheney’s high stakes poker
Surprisingly they are holding the joker,
Arrogantly raising the stakes
With manipulation and fakes
 
Had they listened to Kenny Roger’s gambler’s song
They would not have been so deadly wrong,
In the song the words are so true
It is a guide in all that you do

 

They would have known when to fold
And not continue to be brazenly bold,
Never would they have announced victory
Had they studied Iraq’s history
 
Now that we know they told so many lies
Even “outing” our dedicated spies,
So for the loss of our soldiers without truth or reason
They will both be tried for treason!
