Kuwait, Kuwait,
29 days ‘til September
was a day all Khaleeji
are certain to remember.
Nayirah was as phony
as her baloney testimony;
A regional turf war overplayed

set free to roil foreign soil.
New York, New York,

was a day all Americans
are certain to remember.
Told a second tower
Had been sacked
after less than one hour
Our blue-blood scion fuck boy
showed all the spine
of a timeworn plush toy.
Our nepo-baby bimbo POTUS
Simply stared off into space
as “Curb’s” closing theme song
played across his face.
The 2nd day in May
Operation Neptune Spear
Righted a universal wrong
going on its 9th year.
An Ivy League liberal,
a half-breed “Kenyan” Muslim,
3/5ths of a man,
according to them,
did in all of 2 years
what chickenhawk Conservatives
couldn’t in ten.

tracked him to a house in
Abbottabad, Pakistan…
