pomes of buddy don: The Window Dresser

The Window Dresser

At last the president reveals his plan
For bringing home our soldiers from Iraq –
A plan so simple it needs no straw man
To prop up and knock down with brave attack.

The plan itself should come as no surprise
Since it comes from a man who never fails
To fail at every single thing he tries
Except for claiming he always prevails.

He used the plan when running companies
Into the ground till cronies came along
To fix the mess he made, for if you please,
He's used this little trick his whole life long.

The plan? Do naught but act as window dresser –
The problem will belong to his successor.
