(no, silly, not wigs)
how much oil did McCain burn to buy
5 Iraqi rugs for $5
to report to Americans
“Things are improving in Iraq”
McCain proved it it
only took 100 US military guards
and three overhead helicopters
to keep him safe to fly and shop
$1 per rug
per rug equals how many gnarled fingers
weaving how many days?
How many gnarled fingers, after weaving,
became “collateral” damage?
Too numerous to mention,
of course. Imagine that.
Persian rugs in Iraq.
In another time line Mr. McCain
you may be searching in vain
for the weavers of these rugs,
to pay them their honest due.
