Shareholder glee
by Bosacker
October 20, 2006

I don’t mind gas prices from war in Iraq
since I have three shares of Exxon stock.
so I am prepared for oil shortage shock.

Halliburton shares are now on my buy list
for their war profits prove hard to resist
engineered to build each new terrorist.

Iran’s atomic threats don’t bother me,
because I support George Bush diplomacy.
proved  so successful exporting democracy.

Now Mid East war fronts will surely expand
with two more years with Bush still in command
prepared to lead us through foreign quick sand.

Deficits and casualties will sure increase,
as we have our leader allergic to peace
using war threats as election strategies.
