Cheney, Palin, Cadavers, and Coal
Guns in our National Parks

The next pop pop you hear
    will be Dick Cheney shooting bears
Or visitors on snowmobiles
    he catches unawares.

The New York Times reports he'll have
    the President's approval
And will earn a default swap
    for each cadaver's prompt removal.

"Cheney Skeet Shoots Snowmobiles!"
    A Yellowstone attraction!
And now we hear Todd Palin says
    he wants in on the action.

This Cheney-Palin undertaking?
    Not anticipated.
As funeral directors
    Moodys says they're overrated.

Yet Wall Street touts their default swaps,
    betting they'll succeed,
Fulfilling what CNBC
    proclaims a vital need:

Cadavers rotting in our parks,
    emitting CO2,
Would offset all reductions
    Dirty Coal has promised you.
