When Sec of State Hill’ry was sent
To nuzzle up to furners
Obamaman, our President
Said keep it on back burners
For we don’t want to cause a scene
By seeming to be forceful
Just tell them we were much too mean
I know you’ll be resourceful
She left DC in Air Force Two
With friend Samantha Power
And locked Samantha in the loo
Before they cleared the tower
And in Dubai before the clans
Each dressed in his keffiyeh
She laid before them Obies plans
Then smiled and said I’ll see ya
When she returned the Prez’s grin
Turned into a fierce glower
He said I know just where you’ve been
But where’s Samantha Power
Old Hill eyes wide with faint surprise
With sadness and contrition
Said Ahmedinejad had eyes
For Sam but on condition
That we renounce hostil’ty toward
Iran and all its neighbors
So I believed my going forward
Advanced your peaceful labors
Samantha’s in a good place now
She looks great in a burkha
I understand she’s learned to plow
She was always a good workah
The prez he sighed and shook his head
Said old Sammy was a plus
But if it’s like what you just said
She was better under the bus
