King Georgie's Warning

By Julien Soleil

21st Century


When Janet Jackson bared her breast
         And showed she did not suffer lack
King Georgie cried, "For shame! For shame!"
         And gave poor Janet a mighty whack.

When in old Saddam's Abu Ghraib
         American torture ruled the day
King Georgie cried, "So bad! So sad!"
         And hurried from his desk to play.

O Prince! You are not well defined
         By words or looks but by the facts
For when you stand before Heaven's bar
         Salvation hangs upon your acts.
