The Muse has a favor to ask of his reader(s):

His works are distinguished by rhythm and meter(s), 

But he’s facing a troublesome problem this time – 

His subject involves a most challenging rhyme.

With meekness that’s rarely employed by the Muse, 

He begs your permission in asking to use

 

Large lyrical license to help him create 

A tribute that’s fitting for one who would rate

As biggest and brightest ‘mongst liberal sages,

A Polish-born dude making Democrat wages.

Can you tell who it is from this general hint-ski? 

It’s that man we’ll refer to as Ziggy Brzezinski.

 

The Zigster advised the inept Jimmy Carter

On foreign affairs and still nurtures an ardor 

For causes chic lefties consider so hip – 

Like terrorists’ rights in the hot Gaza strip.

Ziggy says that the Jews can exert self-defense

As long as it’s in a “proportional” sense…

 

What’s scary is how this prized liberal brain

Reflects global thoughts of a similar vein. 

The socialist papers in Europe are yelling 

For Barack to step in with a policy telling

The world that we’re changing the Bushie devotion

to policies aimed at Israeli promotion. 

 

It’s sad that a Rasmussen poll has revealed

Most Democrats feel the Israelis now wield

Too heavy a sword ‘gainst Hamas gentle folk –

We guess, though their missiles might justly provoke

A smallish response – like a sortie or such -

Their clumsy bad aim lends a comical touch!  

 

We see Ziggy’s liberal impact in action

With his daughter, named Mika, a TV attraction

who displays her degree from the Nanny State school – 

opining New York’s tax on soft drinks is “cool.” 

Perhaps she’d allow us to make a “cool” mint-ski

And tax extra letters we find in “Brzezinski.” *

 

The Zigster’s new book quotes a survey that rates 

The Israelis, Iran, and the U.S. as states 

With greatest of evil intent in their soul. 

Should pleasing those polled be our ultimate goal?

Like Bubba risked trouble from bonking Lewinsky,

The Dems should beware if they’re heeding Brzezinski!
