Our Karzai Allies
Peas in a pod

Karzai's still determined
    to promote the poppy trade.
By messing with their genes he thinks
    they'll thrive in total shade,

And by the time McChrystal's dumped
    will flourish under lights
In Al Qaeda's undiscovered
    Tora Bora sites.

But well enough to introduce
    his stuff in Oklahoma?
Though Inhofe has acknowledged highs
    he gets from its aroma?

Who rather than take chances,
    has helped with the exchange
Of East Anglia e-mails that
    don't warn of climate change?

When poppy DNA permits,
    they'll grow them in the dark,
Which after Stan's new Dien Bien Phu,
    means under Central Park

Where dealers and their addicts
    will be a cinch to recognize
In their Afghan Hoodie Slankets
    with the message "Try Karzai's".
