Exxon's Jokers
Remembering Dr. Seuss's story
"The Zax"
(One day making tracks on the prairie of Prax…)

Executive Privilege? How scary is that?
Freedom to lie at the drop of a hat!
Without Congress's help we might never have heard
How Ollie and Stan plan to have the last word:

Speculating last week on the fate of Iraq
And how to ignore Dem demands they cut back,
Stan said to Ollie, "Who's your money on?
Shia, or Sunni, or Azerbaijan?

"Is this Azerbaijan Bolton finds so exquisite
A place we should fight or send daughters to visit?"
Ollie replied, "Spare those Azerbaijanis.
Just pray they'll take in Rudy's ex-Giulianis.

"But this Shia and Sunni thing's one can of worms,
Something best left to the next pachyderms.
If we can hang on till a new crew takes over,
Ollie and Stan should be rolling in clover.

"With your pardons for Cunningham, Frist and Delay,
(Forget Scooter Libby, we'll just let him stay)
They can help Giuliani continue your surge
So a Shia successor to Saddam can emerge,

"While I double down on Prince Bandar's Abdullah
Plus the occasional indigent mullah.
Supporting both sides is our Peter Pace plan
For keeping this going as long as we can.

"By the time these guys finish with our little war,
Their oil will be Exxon's which is what we're paid for.
They have guaranteed Heaven for Oliver Hardy,
And will get you, Stan baby, back on the Bacardi."
