"When I become King, they'll stay in Iraq. I've already decided to not bring them back." Such arrogant words! Look what's walking on eggs. They're short, fat and leath'ry. They're turtley legs Without the cachet and flavor of frog. Few think of chicken while more think of dog. Can Myrtle be King though we know she's been Queen? How long can a turtle keep legs sight-unseen? Won't we tire of those pant suits, that flimsy disguise, When the male population loves sights for sore eyes? Won't someone announce, "Tain't funny, McGee. We require full disclosure and must like what we see." But a turtle in charge? It has happened before. That Yertle was King is the stuff of folklore Among interns aspiring to pleasure the boss – At least those who're proficient at coming across. But announcements that fly in the face of good sense Aren't something we want in would-be presidents. "When I become King, they'll stay in Iraq. I've already decided to not bring them back." Myrtle the Turtle's not bragged, "Bring 'em on." This time the rationale's guarding Exxon! With a few set aside for Dubai's Halliburton. It's not yet official, but we're really quite certain. "After all Bushie's done, whose oil should it be? We ought to make sure Exxon gets it for free. Privatizing their oil's the American way. Why should Iraqis be given a say? If Bushie can do it, why shouldn't I? Can we tax Halliburton once they've moved to Dubai?"
