Two committees called in to appear
White House brass from the very top tier
Do Taylor and Miers
Know stuff ’bout the fires?
Stay tuned for the updates right here

Just in from the Dem’s campaign trail
Where Hillary seems to prevail
She’s got more converts
Of people in skirts
In part, because she’s not male

But that’s only part of the game
Not all female votes are the same
Clinton mostly succeeds
Among “women with needs”
The rest like Barack, or that’s the claim

Just how much would you pay to own
A diamond encrusted head bone?
Mr. Damien Hirst
Says his art’s not the worst
It’s not from Sierra Leone

If one hundred million is paid
For the priciest art ever made
It’s hard not to brood
When so many lack food
What a farce to buy diamonds, not aid
