Ruffled Feathers & Parrot Poop
Cheney-Nixon & Parrots-Grassley

Cheney claims he's patriotic?
    He's only trying to save his ass.
Sounds like self-incrimination.
    The Sickie's running out of gas,
As well as Brownie points he never
    bothered to amass.
He's a Sickie Tricky Dick
    whose fam'ly jewels are made of brass.

Although no longer in control,
    he tries to domineer.
Unless a whistle blower whistles,
    he's a tough bird to cashier.
But some say Dick's pet parrot, Polly,
    perhaps was perched where she could hear
Enough to warrant shooting off
    old Whittington's remaining ear.

Enough for torture inquiries
    that might elicit whistles
From parrots at the CIA
    soon after mass dismissals?
Still who'll believe the CIA?
    Saddam had guided missiles?
Unless this Dick's pet parrot talks
    while Sickie Dicky bristles?

Will she survive to testify
    and be the smoking gun
Like Tricky Dicky's Watergate
    tapes helped him come undone?
Can we rely on parrot poop
    from undisclosed locations?
Not if it's like Chuck Grassley's spiel
    for private health organizations.
