The inimitable Iowahawk has reduced me to fits of laughter yet again. He’s composed an ode to US peacekeeping operations in Libya, set to the tune of ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious‘ from the 1964 movie ‘Mary Poppins‘. Here’s the first verse:
Overseas-Contingencies-Kinetic-Aliocious
In trying to explain himself when bombing foreign lands,
It behooves a modern president to keep his prose in hand.
One little slip in lexicon accounting for the rubble
Will end up in congressional investigative trouble.Ohhhhhh!
Overseas-contingencies-kinetic-aliocious
I must admit the messaging is really quite atrocious
But if you say it soft enough, you’ll always sound precocious,
Overseascontingencieskineticaliocious!
The rest of the song may be found at the link. Wonderful stuff!
