Dying Early

First Schiavo, then the Pope –
Who will be the next to cope with Bush's abdication?
Wolfowitz sure tried; Kim Jung Il's applied.
Perhaps the House and Senate with their next appropriation?

The world is getting crowded,
Right-to-lifers ev'rywhere.
Do you think, if more got off,
That might save the polar bear?

Dying early well may be our responsibility –
The environmental thing for you and me to do.

Bush is running in the red;
He lacks the do re mi
To cushion our retirements
Past the age of eighty-three.

With the Washington, DC, Bush induced emergency
Dying early well may be our responsibility
And the patriotic thing for you and me to do.

In casting round for volunteers
   to get these programs started,
Please give consideration to
   the sick and broken-hearted.
Next in line? All those depressed
   who Merck and Pfizer own;
Then rapture for those born-agains
   who claim they're here on loan.

After taking Bush outsourcing to its logical conclusion,
As well as full advantage of Congressional intrusion,
Those who figure out a way to get their tour extended,
But find their right to life has now been secretly amended,
May conclude that dying early's not all that demonic,
But finally a proper and a decent thing to do.
