Messrs. Putin-Bush
To be sung to the Hoagy Carmichael tune
"Two Sleepy People"
(Here we are, out of cigarettes)

Here we are,
Vice will take your bet.
Prob'ly find him yawning.
Time zones pose a threat.
And, though it sounds creepy, how can there be a fight
When no one can distinguish left from right?

Here we are
Dissing Tony Blair.
Can't ignore his parliament,
Must pretend to care.
Both of us agree we've found a better way
Than to give a thought to what ours say.

We both remember
The arguments we had before the fall
Of the tall buildings seemed to cast a pall
On any charter members of atomic protocol
Who objected to a test
By any of the rest.

So here we are
With our latest game.
Can either one remember
And pronounce the other one's first name?
Two chosen autocrats sparring in the night,
Who no longer can tell wrong from right.
