Kipling Only Knew If you can keep your job while all about you Are fielding bribes and blaming it on you, If you can duck the Feds while all men doubt you, And bleep-ing show the charges are untrue, If you can fight and not be tired by fighting, Or, being wiretapped, profess surprise, Or argue that there will be no indicting Because it’s all a bleep-ing pack of lies. If you can scheme - but never scheme in writing, If you can talk - but not from your home phone, If you can face the press and keep reciting That truth is on your side, though you’re alone; If you can bear to hear the bleeps you’ve spoken Quoted on Fox TV and “Meet the Press” Or watch that Senate seat become a token Of all the things they’d like you to confess If you can just accuse them all of spinning And quote a bit of Kipling on the way And comb your hair and somehow keep on grinning And tell them no one ever paid to play; If you can force them to accept your own rights To publicly refuse this bitter cup, And fight them till you’ve drained yourself of sound bites, Except the Will to say to them: “Shut up!” If you once walked with Rezko and Obama Or spoke with Jesse Junior and with Rahm If you can overcome this legal drama, If you can show that no one greased your palm If you can take that Senate seat and fill it With someone who will swear you’re not a knave Yours is the Land of Lincoln, and yet still it Will have Kipling rolling over in his grave. -------------------- "Being deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and using well spoken words; this is good luck."
