"TOM RIDGE SCARED!" "Will Move Abroad…"
   Why would you find those headlines odd?
   We only hope he's careful where he goes.
If he stays here, he's got no chance.
   That color coded song and dance?
   Don't you suspect what Tom Ridge surely knows?

Depending on his destination,
   which evil twin will find salvation
   by blowing our poor Tom to smithereens?
Osama here? He had no prayer…
   Yet Junior's bombs will get him there…
   How scary to be fleeing those two fiends!

He'd thought he'd try the Arctic Circle
   but fears some Halliburton jerk'll
   tell Bush that he needs to seize that oil.
And knowing W's proclivities
   and former fraudulent activities,
   he'll do his best to skip that battle royal.
