A Poem About Dick Cheney, With Apologies to Shel Silverstein

Harry and Katherine and Dick Cheney, too
Went hunting for quails
One late afternoon
"Be vewy quiet
We'll hear when they coo!"
Said Harry and Katherine and Dick Cheney, too

Harry and Katherine and Dick Cheney, too
Noticed the sky change
To orange from blue
"It's late," complained Harry
Dick said, "Stay a few
"And since we are staying, please toss me a brew!"

Dickie was Captain, and Harry was Crew

And Katherine stood way back

To keep a clear view

"Got one," said Harry

Dick said, "Good for you!

"I'll get one myself if you let me pass through!"

Harry and Katherine and Dick Cheney, too
Heard a shotgun go off
With fiery BOOM!
"I've shot him," yelled Dick
"Now what will we do?
You'd better go lie about this on the news!"

Harry and Katherine and Dick Cheney, too
Dodged the world for 4 days
And gave no interviews
"They'd never believe
What I'm saying is true!"
Dick explained later to Fox's Brit Hume

Harry and Katherine and Dick Cheney, too
Never revealed all the things they knew
And nobody
Really knows what
Happened with
Harry and Katherine and Dick Cheney, too
