Appeasing Tobacco Terrorists *
Sung to the tune "Honeysuckle Rose"
(performed by Fats Waller)

Smoke until you croak –
Bush thinks it's a joke
When tobacco companies
Leave you wanting one more puff,
Though you've puffed enough.

Fees Bush needs to charge
Would be "way too large"
If tobacco companies
Paid to help their smokers quit,
Even just a bit.

So he wants to
Charge them for folks who might
Start in smoking –
Each gullible neophyte.

How will Bush know who
Is most likely to
Pay tobacco companies
For their W. M. D.s?
Cheney finder fees.

"U.S. Won't Ask Firms
to Help Current Smokers Quit"
