Despondoleeza's Blues
(Sung to the tune "Who Wouldn't Love You?")

They didn't tell me.
They didn't share.
No precise warnings.
That isn't fair.
They surely knew the who,
   what, when and whereabouts
Of those who I'm supposed to know
   what they're about without a doubt.

How could I function?
They wouldn't tell.
Kept it a secret.
Made my life hell.
Al Qaeda hasn't been co-operative –
Other than that,
I'm doing quite well.
