When will Bush authorize euthanasia,
   thus reducing his need for more jails?
His pre-emptive wars with more captives
   would seem to be tipping the scales.

Halliburton is charging him millions
   for ev'ry new one it installs,
While the projected savings from doing them in
   would leave more for inaugural balls.

The benefits certainly needn't end there.
   Who'd bother to save for retirement?
No Social Security crises to bear
   and no payroll deduction requirement.

After watching the Congress' old fools reconvene,
   we know where this program should start:
Why not try it on them? If it's working pro tem,
   would extending it break anyone's heart?
