Murdoch's Mad Money
News of the World à la cellphone

Murdoch's mad money? Where does he spend it?
On cops and on hackers to dig up more dirt?
Why interfere with the old man's perversions?
He's keeping philandering politicians alert.

Murdoch's hackers have shown us how easy it is
To access phone messages. Try the phone's default code.
Even celebrities don't bother to change it.
For hackers like Murdoch's? It's news à la mode.

Does he want further inquiry? Certainly not.
Let Yates of the Yard take the fall for the scam.
But decimate NoW's current staff of reporters
Either in jail or for months on the lam?

Fly in replacements? Wall Street Journal reporters?
How long will it take them to learn how to hack
In Cockney instead of their own Brooklynese?
Who will hack Geithner until they get back?

For Murdoch this all is a prickly predicament.
Looks are deceiving; he's not that sour a feller,
So if he could write, his stuff might be upbeat.
And on top of that he's a terrible speller.
