Bill Clinton's Shame (1998) Poem by Francis Duggan

Bill Clinton near impeachment thought my best plan is attack
I will create diversion by striking at Iraq
I will win for myself precious time by bombing old Baghdad
And if the Iraqi people suffer I guess that is too bad.

I know that Tony Blair will back me for he would lick my shoes
The British are our lapdogs and what have I to lose?
By declaring war on Iraq I might save myself from shame
And if I can destroy Saddam I can feel assured of fame.

It's not my fault since ninety two if one million Iraqis died
If food and medical assistance to them has been denied
For Saddam's failure to comply to U.N. sanctions the big price he must pay
The cheek of that small bully to taunt the U.S.A.

For the poor Iraqi people in this there is no gain
They have a woeful leader the rogue Saddam Hussein
And with Clinton and his lapdog Blair at war with their Homeland
I find this unbelievable too hard to understand

The bombing of Iraqi cities will add to Clinton's shame
For human deaths and sufferings he must shoulder some blame
And Saddam and the British leader Mr Tony Blair
Are guilty of atrocities of which they seem unaware.
