The Spelling Did It
(Sung to the tune "Keepin' Out Of Mischief")

Never could pronounce Eye-raq.
Eye-ran's who I meant to whack.
Thought it ended with a "Q".
Spelling's been my Waterloo.
Too bad we are where we are –
Eye-ran's far more nucular.

If they'd told me it was "N",
We'd have re-aimed way back then.
Blaim it all on raising hell –
Had no time to learn to spell.

Can't afford any aggressions now.
Even if they're fissioning.
All my endeavors must hinge on how
Good I am electioning.
Have to let them know I care –
We at least attacked somewhere.

So it
Wouldn't do to fight them now.
Have to quietly powwow.
I have told them many times
Fissioning's the worst of crimes –
Are they keeping ev'ry vow?
KAH-BOOM! Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!
