Acronymony

The USA's GW the B,
That M-T headed heap of ADD
Who nurtured 9/11 in NYC
(The "Terror" was an inside job UC),
AWOL part-timer in the TNG,
Exploder of DU and TNT,
NRA darling with the GOP,
Scourge of the UN and the ICC,
Lover of CEOs and MuckyD
In Dow, in NASDAQ or in S&P,
With FOX applauding, Disney, NBC,
The Wall St. Journal and the NYT,
Clear Channel, CBS and ABC,
The mogul monsters of M-„P-E-T
Soiling the airwaves, radio and TV,
Sows GMO and WMD,
Depletes the ozone to unleash UV,
Revives the tired doctrine, MAD,
Rides the leviathanic HSD,
Rapes, tortures, murders, bars the JAG,
Burns the dissenter's skin with ADT,
Electrocuting her with PZT
(NVDA confronts A3P3),
And all this in the name of G.O.D.
With him, his GB ally Tony B,
Despiser of Greenpeace and CND,
Has, like our Patriot Act, his CCB.
Both men commission evil from MPs.
Lord save us from this pair of SOBs.
