When federal authorities come by,
It's criminal if you concoct a lie.
The Feds don't think that lies are okey-dokey.
Will Chalabi, then, soon be in the pokey?
He plainly slipped the CIA some whoppers
Much larger than those Martha told the coppers.
Well, no, this liar won't be brought to book.
Although they knew their Ahmad was a crook,
His neoconnish sponsors wouldn't check
Those weapons legends that were plainly dreck.
One shrewd defense for him would work, it's clear:
"I only tell them what they want to hear."
