They shout ‘Not in my name’
as if for Israel’s self-defense
they were to blame
They scream ‘Globalize the Intifada’
as if their voices ever mattered
They chant ‘Palestine will be ‘free’
from the River to the Sea
without a clue as to what that means
They denounce the IDF from their comfortable American homes
allege Al-Jazeera-reported ‘Israeli atrocities’ in vulgar poems
They are ‘Peace Now,’ ‘J Street,’ ‘progressive’ Jews ~
whom the Mullahs aim to slaughter when they so choose
The folks who name the hurricanes
Have scrapped the name Irene.
It seems a rather drastic step,
But really, it’s routine.
When hurricanes wreak havoc
And a lot of lives are lost,
The name’s removed forevermore
Because a line’s been crossed.
It’s happened many times before
For it just seems much kinder
To choose a brand new handle
That won’t be a sad reminder.
So next time in the alphabet
When they are up to “I,”
The namers of the hurricanes
Think “Irma” rates a try.
A name that’s linked with evil
Often vanishes from view –
Baby Adolph wouldn’t even get
A decent cootchie coo!
