Transitions
From POWs to Bush IIIs

What more avid proponent of war than McCain?
His anger and pain must be somebody's gain.
    Six years in jail, though slow,
        is one way of becoming a hero,
    At least to those Bushies whose role
        in that long ago war was zero,
    Bushies preoccupied making heros
        in their wonderful world of Guantanamo,
    Where ev'ry detainee's aspiring to be
        a Congressman, Senator or CEO,
Or an angry chief of state like that arbiter of pain,
Their prototype and mentor, "But they hurt me" John McCain.

What more avid proponent of war than McCain?
His anger and pain must be somebody's gain.
    He thought by backing Bushie
        on his Crusade in Iraq
    He might protect Nebraska
        from a terrorist attack
    By confiscating UN sactioned oil
        even while cutting back
    On those knowledgeable Baathists whom
        they were letting Paul Bremer sack,
Future angry chiefs of state like that arbiter of pain,
Their nemesis but mentor, "But they hurt me" John McCain.

What more avid proponent of war than McCain?
His anger and pain must be somebody's gain.
    If Cheney and Bush were to cast
        a less than judicial aspersion
    To which McCain's new wife Cindy showed
        a decidedly hostile aversion,
    Like the time his first wife's Siamese peed
        on her precious inherited Persian,
    Rest assured that Old Mac would then go to war
        attempting an in-house diversion
To prove he was still chief of state, Bushie's arbiter of pain,
The new prototype for heros, the PR genius McCain.
