Two Poems

I worked on a long post today, but the final version was lost when Netscape crashed. So here, instead, are two quatrains that I wrote just now.

Tony Blair

A master of the statesman's art
Of meaning very, very well
Whilst paving with his whole small heart
A most progressive road to hell.

*

Dick Cheney

The US's second-greatest resident,
He puts the "vice" back in "vice-president."
Quail or Iraqi, he's ready to kill,
And Congress is ready to pay off the bill.
