Causus Belli

  Kindly refer to Notes 


We wanted nice Rice
but she came with a whip,
a sad, inexcusable
C.I.A. slip.

He needed no push,
burning Bush went to war
with logic well oiled
and flaw at its core.

By desert saltbush
an ambush they found, -
as reason recoiled,
polls plunged to the ground.

Wrong Cheney insaney
hard right, lost strong hand
was (f)oiled and term-oiled -
stumped De Lay of the land.

In law court flaw caught
his pants hanging down,
as casualties rose -
to tumbril his crown !

When Libby thought Plame -
a target to flame -
no perjury's surgery
could whitehousewash claim.

When pride seeks free ride
on the back of attack,
there beware motives snide -
Time’s rib tide takes crib back.

Lapsus Linguae





We wanted Li Wing
But we winged Willie Wong.
A sad but excusable
Slip of the tong.

    Shame on me ...

    for I love this poem, as I smile sweetly. I especially love the truism in your lines
    "By desert saltbush
    an ambush they found, -
    as reason recoiled,
    polls plunged to the ground."

    and

    "Wrong Cheney insaney
    hard right, lost strong hand
    was (f)oiled and term-oiled -
    stumped De Lay of the land."

    very well penned on several levels. I need not tell you that. Masterpiece.
