MADDOG’S ON THE PROWL
Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)
Maddog’s off a’wandering
Yes, Maddog’s on the prowl,
When he sniffs petroleum
Ol’ Maddog starts to howl.
He needs to find a ‘servant’
On whom to take a hold,
He needs to terrorise the East
To dig up their Black Gold.
Yes Maddog is to freedom
What sex is to virginity,
He’s howling like a loon now
So people doubt his sanity.
Yes, Maddog wants the A’rabs
To sell him all their oil,
He’s not afraid to slaughter them
When tempers start to boil.
Old Maddog will be put down
But perhaps not a second too soon,
He spreads disease and terror
Maddog’s howling at the moon.
THE END

About this poem
One of the most evil fascist dictators of all time was George W. "Maddog" Bush. He abused the memory of the thousands who died on September 11, 2001 in his insane quest for Arab oil at all costs! America's very first retaliatory strike for 9-11 turned out by mistake to be upon a maternity hospital. Hundreds of pregnant women and newborn babies died. Maddog shrugged this off, saying they were just "Collateral damage"! The man was a monster, on par with Adolph Hitler!
