I'm not fond of repost but this seemed as relevent today as I felt it was when I posted it just before the start of the war two years ago so...

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 and supporters,
can have a big time.
Gonna make him a new army,
of the grateful liberated,
to ward off nasty neighbors
waitin a place at the table.

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

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

Again, I would laugh if it weren't so real.
I still like the sand castle/oil line the best. LOL, can laugh at that image.
