A More Humane McCain
Old Mac tries to explain his hostility to Wesley Clark et al.
with a nod to Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Humane Mikado"

A more humane McCain than I
    They will have never seen
        Until they mention my service –
        Truth makes me terribly nervous
    And often extremely mean.
Though we seldom see eye to eye,
    Why do they have to recall
        My exploits and adventures aquatic,
        Idiotic and unpatriotic,
    When I was having a ball?

My goal is to pass as heroic,
A dullard disguised as a stoic,
    Not acknowledging I'm
    Just a throwback in time –
        Certainly not before I'm
The one passing laws,
The new Wizard of Oz,
    The butt of each joke
    As I go up in smoke
        You'd hate them, too, from time to time –
How'd they learn I'm the humbug that I'm?
