THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO
Sunday’s 60 Minutes Show http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/27/60minutes/main1245714.shtml

Looks like we’ve got another “Brownie”
Except this time it could be worse
Maybe tens of thousands dead
Could be this other crony’s curse.

Here we have a drug company
Who has found a magic cure
That has even made the Pentagon
Know, they want it for sure.

Then along comes this “lawyer”
Who used to work for Amtrak
Wants to put our “Project Bioshield”
Somewhere on the slow track.

When will we get some people
In these jobs who know their stuff
Finding someone who’s qualified
Surely couldn’t be that tough.

Guess Katrina taught us nothing
Or certain people didn’t learn
To fix those things that are wrong
Before they take another tragic turn.

They say we need ten million doses
And that’s at the very least
He only wants one hundred thousand
I guess the rest will be deceased.

What will they say when it happens
Will they say, “We didn’t know!”?
Will they let the people pay again
The way it usually seems to go?

It’s really getting kinda scary
The way nobody seems to care
Someday we’re going to look
And wonder how we got there??

And they are even an American Drug company!
