What%C3%AF%C2%BF%C2%BDs Good for the Goose

J. M. Hallett
An Exxon executive named Lee
Drove a giant red phallic Humvee.
But it gulped so much gas
His neighbors kicked his ass,
Then turned his 'Vee' into debris.
Well ol' Lee, he sobbed and sobbed,
Said, "I feel like I've just been robbed."
But his neighbors just laughed,
And said, "Lee, we did that
'Cause you're a gluttonous, self-absorbed snob."
"Well, this is still America," whimpered he.
"So I can do as I damn well please!"
But his neighbors explained,
"That after Bush/Cheney's reign
It's no longer the land of the free."
