Take Back Our Girls

Leader of Boko Haram is threatening to sell the kidnapped girls. (Photo/Courtesy of The Guardian)

Parents in Nigeria are frantic for their girls
3 weeks after Boko Haram swine kidnapped their pearls,
Still not knowing where the pigs who stole their daughters are,
Angry 'cause their President's done nothing much, so far.

He still isn't sure how many girls the rebels took;
Didn't send the army in to help the parents look.
Boko Haram says they took the girls to sell as slaves.
I suspect the terrorists are digging their own graves.

Now they've got the world's attention and the world is pissed
And, unlike the girls they've taken, these guys won't be missed.
I hope Goodluck Jonathan does not make any deals
That exclude a visit from the U.S. Navy's SEALs.

Dear Gabriel E. Gomez... Thanks, But No Thanks.

The Massachusetts election for U.S. Senate will be held on 25 June 2013.
 
Here in Massachusetts - the election weeks away -
I've begun to listen to what Gomez has to say.
Heard him pledge allegiance to the flag, heard him complain;
Says Ed Markey's old and runs a negative campaign.

Gomez was a Navy SEAL; a unit I respect
(I was in the Navy, too...  What else would you expect?)
But, although I thank him for his service, he and I
Have too many issues where we don't see eye to eye:

Women's reproductive rights, Obama's health care plan,
Guns and ammo, education, climate, Pakistan.
It appears I'm not alone; he's lagging in the polls.
Markey gets my vote for Senate - Gomez for FOX holes.
