The learned Wolfowitz and Perle, it seems,
Made Chalabi the hero of their dreams.
Yes, all the Sissy Hawks were glad to sup
On cockamamie tales that he served up.
In triumph back in Baghdad he would pose--
A Charles de Gaulle, with more expensive clothes.
When Ahmad's hopes for power took a dive,
He thought he'd turn against us to survive.
We trashed his house, and now the man is vexed.
Pray tell: Will Wolfowitz's house be next?
