            Dot Com.,

            Dot, Dot,

            Come Here

            Love...Faith...Pray
            Pray...Prey

            On values...values...

            Value the Good Book

            Value...dot...dot...

            Come here.

            

            Learn your ABCs

            Your GEDs

            Your SATs

            Your...what was it?

            In God We Trust

            We are sensitive

            To patriotism

            Field trips to Falugia

            Where women are covered

            Black as the heron

            Swooping down

            Oily, I guess

            

            Iraqis must pay

            Pay for 9/11

            We will stand strong

            With Gods mandate

            Our truth will prevail

            If we have to set our dogs

            Our tanks, our bombs,

            Our weapons of mass destruction

            Upon their homes, schools, mosques,

            Hospitals

            We shall prevail.

            Yes!
