"First Indiscriminatory Snarks Act – II of IV"

The Hunting of Snarks – The Beginning
(FISA backfires with and without warrants)

What got them started? Where will it go?
To Bushie's ineptness we credit the former.
Without him and Ashcroft for Cheney to snow,
Dick, too, would have been a benchwarmer.

Bushie picked Ashcroft, a typical choice,
Arrogant, zealous and dumb.
When warned of Al Qaeda, in his church tenor's voice,
He ventured, "God bless me, that stuff is humdrum."

Now they stalk them with warrants, they stalk them without,
They pursue them both here and abroad.
And still they don't know what the fuss is about
Or that Bushie has lost touch with God.

From the moment they started their goal was suspect,
But who could forsee all the Snarks they'd detect?
Not just those Ashcroft & Bush-ignored Saudies,
But a lovely assortment of baddies and naughties.

A Bushie attorney who needs a cellmate?
Sub-prime mortgage brokers who've jacked up the rate?
Or Snarks who naively helped Bushie enact
The First Indiscriminatory Snarks Act?

Somebody in Congress? Are you sure of that?
IQ's more than twenty and they won't let you in.
Plus ethics are poison for today's bureaucrat,
How many times can you be born again?

So who was the author and who wrote the bill?
In Congress big bill writing counts.
Yet here is a case where if you rob the till,
Verizon will know who wired what to whom
And in almost ev'ry case the amounts.

Yet they stalk them with warrants, they stalk them without,
And still they don't know what our cheers are about,
Though they've managed to write, pass, sign and enact
The First Indiscriminatory Snarks Act.
