Chump Change

All the kings defense contractors and all the kings banks
couldn’t do the Humpty Dance
even when they had the chance.

Now there’s an adopted Big Brother.
She scans your Gmail for terror.

Watch as the Border Patrol hunts in Spanish
for even just one
Pashto speaker.

If only!  Only if!
Had the Democrats won control of Congress
the Bush would be imprisoned
the Nader would be forgiven.

Only if and if only we the Patriot Acted
could forget about the 2000 – add a 7.

Chump change.  Super bon-bon.  A pet name for Norm Dicks.
