some kind of wunderkind
donald rumsfeld calls amnesty international a bad name for
their investigation of guantanamo.
yet not too long ago he was using them as a source supporting
one of his diatribes.
just goes to show you it depends on how you
look through the keyhole and just what keyhole
you're spying through.
there are all sorts of reasons and ways and means
just sitting on thin shelves, waiting to be bandied
and sung of.
donald rumsfeld is the godfather of all things
military.he will make sure that our troops have what
they need to get things done, hold on, wait a minute,
that armor is kind of thin, holes in the fabric, shoddy
management indeed, can't send troops into battle
without some kind of wunderkind.
stumble then slowly, pirouette with the paranoid,
the suicide bombers are on the increase and
donald rumsfeld is gunning for amnesty international.
may he shoot straight and clear with wit and understanding.
go donald go.
some kind of wunderkind indeed,
limping around the r and r,
trying to hold a tune,
any vacant bloody way you shake it.
