Iran - Give Peace A Chance

Secretary Kerry's back in meetings with Iran

And he's making progress as they hammer out a plan.

We'll start easing sanctions if Iranians agree

They'll shut down their centrifuges...  Then, we'll have to see.

Israel is furious; they say we shouldn't trust

Anything Rouhani says, but I believe we must.

There's no peace for Syria - a civil war that's spread;

Daily bombings add names to the growing list of dead -

Iran might be crucial in negotiating peace.

They could offer al-Assad a cushy, long-term lease.

When we isolate Iran we're cutting off our nose

Just to spite our faces; stepping on the Persians' toes.

Across the Pond (Kind of) - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Swan Song

I have heard a swan will sing, just once, before it dies...

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sung one full of lies.

He's as lame as ducks can get but his last U.N. speech

Gave this narcissist a global stage from which to screech.

On the Jew's High Holy Day; called them "uncivilized."

Quoted Persian poetry until he realized

He had lost his audience.  The U.S. didn't show.

We already knew which way the wind was gonna blow.

Middle East is all our fault.  We're Satan...  Blah, blah, blah.

Persia has been civilized forever...  Rah, rah, rah.

Just ignore the tensions over Syrians who've died;

Never mind the I.A.E.A. claiming that you've lied.

Problems in the Middle East go back 3,000 years

And Iran, for much of it's, incited neighbors' fears.

Even its own citizens are careful where they walk...

That was not a swan song - that was Mahmoud's final squawk.
