Musing

I wonder how Dick Cheney's feeling- today?
What merriment is Cheney pursuing, today?
Is he torturing the maid, or possibly the cat?
I wonder if he's finding - pleasure - in that?
How go the endless hours
As he sees his fading powers
Being legally and rapidly removed?
Well, I’ll tell you how Dick Cheney's feeling today:
He’s bored ! He’s bored!

You mean that the man who gave good smites
To eviscerate the Bill of Rights
Now sits and glowers at Daytime TV?
Wheee!

A bureaucrat so calm in meetings
Even his irritation’s fleeting
Now looks in vain for TSCrypto Mail?
Fail!

You mean that appalling nasty glare
That cold-eyed dead-meat evil stare
Is now being wasted on an empty room?
Boom!

You wonder what Dick Cheney is wishing, today?
He’s wishing the Bill of Rights was so far away!
And with that useless thing, the Constitution too
He wishes he had stuffed up a sooty old flue!
And gone, the expectation
The sublime anticipation
He had felt, when first his office chair he warmed.
Well, I’ll tell you what Dick Cheney’s feeling, today:
He’s mad!
He shakes!
He rages!
He quakes!
Cause nobody really cares about Cheney - today!
