Recruiters at the CIA are more than making quota –
   way up from the iota of the past.
Executives indicted, like mobsters, are excited
   at the chance to hide what they've amassed.

They find once they're a member there is no need to remember
   mistakes they might have made along the way,
For merely classifying what prying eyes are trying
   to uncover tends to make most nosy Parkers go away.

It's working with the Senate, who would like to get at Tenet,
   whose life may soon be classified as well.
To Bush it's patriotic, though more likely idiotic,
   to think he might have known something to tell.

But what a boon to Kenny Boy, and to Martha, oh, what joy,
   to classify them from those prosecutors.
And Ashcroft stands to benefit so he won't have to retrofit
   each and ev'ry statue that he neuters.
