YeeHaw Acres

King George got a plan,
to build a new nation.
What now is Iraq,
will be the foundation.
The start of an empire,
a new world order,
with health spas and resorts
courtesy of our labor.

Good jobs for his buddies,
best of food and fine wines.
Where he,Blair and supporters,
can have a big time.
Gonna make him a new army,
of the grateful liberated,
to ward off nasty neighbors
wantin a place at the table.

The more I think of it,
I have to agree.
Not that bad an idea,
if of him we’d be free.
Once he’s got his new army,
we could welcome ours home,
while he lives in his castle
and baths in black gold.

With the money it’d save us,
we could care for ourselves.
Buy food,health insurance,
put medicines on our shelves.
While he and his coalition,
continue there plan
and with there new order
go liberate Iran.

there is a powerful message lurking in this....


Lauren~

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night

Well-written this time, good & consistent tone and a style that's appropriate to the subject matter.

Thanks Y'all for reading and the replies...too much cnn and too little sleep.lol...the blame and justifications are flying hard and heavy everywhere today.A little satire tossed in can't hurt.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

Ah, yes, and all is well at YeeHaw Acres, or soon will be. I enjoyed this tremendously, and although done with humour, it really does carry a strong message, one worth contemplating!!

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

Yes, you got your point across very well.
This does give a lot to think about.

Couldn't we just buy the place, as is?
We're going to spend 100 B anyway.
