Welcome To IHOP


Welcome

to breakfast:

at the International House of Politics,

where your war “questions, ”

are democratically answered,

with French Toast and republican prayers.

Here, the waitress is well armed,

with combat footage

from Afghanistan & Iraq,

while the 'breakfast special'

of grits, is globally warmed,

for retired Generals, lobbying on CNN,

for more syrup/no pancakes,

to weaker nations sucker-punched

by America's…

'weapons of mass destruction.'

No reservations are ever needed,

for the National Guard

ordered to arms:

so/do/not/call/for/lunch.

War is always served for dinner,

with 'Donald Rumsfeld'* stew

& spicy 'Condoleezza Rice, ' **

on a 87 billion dollar plate,

complimented with Iraqi oil;

on a 'Osama Bin Laden'***

hidden salad.

That's tax payer funded;

with gratuities paid.


America's-2004 * Defense Secretary
