The second paragraph will spell it out
In chapter, Wolfie, and in sordid verse.
Your lawyer worked in vain, and, by the way,
The paragraph it follows will be worse.
That paragraph will be about the war
For which you served as cocksure philosophe.
It's even harder there to claim clean hands,
For graft stains fade, but blood just won't come off.
