Ambassadorial Errata
(after the style of Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter")
ABABAB
Mike Huckabee from Arkansas
to Tel Aviv was sent
or possibly Jerusalem
ourselves to represent
and not preach Zionism from
the Jew Old testament.
Disgraceful isn’t half the word
that we require to name
the evil in this little man
who’d set the world aflame
like State and CIA desired
in Mike Pompeo’s game.
And so this Baptist minister
in Israel supports
a genocide in Gaza
(and assorted Jewish sports)
commanding Palestinians
to take it in the shorts.
Now “Chutzpah” and “Hasbara”
(Gall and Propaganda) serve
to illustrate how far they’ve come
who’ve a colossal nerve
demanding that Americans
Israeli wants observe.
“No way!” this Navy Veteran
of Vietnam replies.
We’ve had more than our fill of you
and all your filthy lies.
Go take your “Greater Israel”
and watch it as it dies.
There’s no room left on Planet Earth
for monsters such as these
who’d see us all consumed in fire
or else watch as we freeze
before describing “Israel”
as someone’s noisy sneeze.
