FITZMASS DAY

by Bill Costley


Lying-liars lie creatively on-camera,
in-print, anywhere media suck-it-up,
demonstrating just how it's done:

The Scooter takes 5 hits & resigns
& the Coulter lies: "I never heard of
Scooter Libby until 10 minutes ago."

The Rover, he's still dodging bullets.
Dubya's wurkin' so hard, hard, hard.
Cheney's no-where 2 B seen-o, oh

Ain't it, hard, hard, hard, Cheney?
Ain't it, hard, hard, hard, Cheney?
Ain't it, hard, hard, hard, Cheney?


Bill Costley serves on the Steering Committee of the San Francisco chapter of the National Writers Union.
