'Twas The Thump
To be sung to the Hoagy Carmichael tune
"The Nearness Of You"
(It's not the pale moon that excites me)

It's not that Karl Rove robbed the cradle,
Nor was their fall fatal.
Oh, no.
'Twas the thump at the end.

It's not Iraqi adulation,
Nor capitulation.
Oh, no.
It was the end to pretend.

But back in Daddy's arms
With his old friends taking charge,
Can Bushie comprehend?

He'll have no histories to haunt him,
Jon Stewarts to taunt him –
The right,
Be it ever so slight
Will continue to fight
And pray for The End.
