Smoking the Peace Pipe(dream)

Smoking the Peace Pipe(dream)

This man called Bush
He tried to push
The Middle East into peace.
This lady called Rice
Brushed off the flies
The spiders and the fleas.
Come to Maryland
All of you, hand in hand
In friendship, she cooed.
Great idea, said some GOP
Just pull out every stop
While some Dems just booed.
No carrots, snarled Vader Dick
Give them the expletive stick
Show them their cussword place.
Stick! Stick! The neocons cried
It’s been tested and tried
Make them mend their ways!
Unwillingly some of them came
While others were warily game
Yet others in neutral mood.
Many were old, some were spry
Many came wearing coat and tie
Some came in cloak with hood.
Ol’ buddy Ehud had come away
As home woes were holding sway
He needed some breathing space.
Abbas the good Palestinian
Came like a puppy minion
To attend the grand parleys.
Talk won’t work, Bolton raged
Sounding like a tiger caged
Far better to kick some ass.
Kick ass! The neocons roared
Bomb them flat as a board!
Show them our balls of brass!
Hamas the ugly baddies who
Had won elections fair and true
Were uninvited at the talks grand.
There was envoy Teflon Tony
Faithful poodle, favorite crony
With the UN’s Ki-Moon at hand.
Uninvited too was bad ol’ Iran
One of the Axis of Evil clan
Anathema to the Bushie dream.
Russia and China were there too
Unsure just what they were to do
Canada also on the team.
“Obscene word them” Cheney ranted
Profanity them, Bolton wanted
Frothing at all their holes.
Bomb them! Give them shock and awe
Screamed neocons both old and raw
Just achieve our strategic goals!
Forced to come was Syria
Saudi Arabia and Algeria
And much of the Middle East.
Europe was there in a throng
A bit of Asia came along
Last, but also the least.
Will Abbas and Ehud get bedding
After this most unlikely wedding
Still remains to be seen.
The bed is filled with many suitors
Double crossers, straight shooters
Players both nice and mean.
