Farewell, Colin Powell

We need to say farewell to Colin Powell, Who should have long ago tossed in the towel. Instead he lent his good name to the team In vouching for its cockamamie scheme.

We need to say farewell to Colin Powell, Who should have long ago tossed in the towel. Instead he lent his good name to the team In vouching for its cockamamie scheme. And now the team has shoved him out the door– Not needed anymore (they got their war). He’s let himself be used by lesser men. It’s sad to see, as we remember when Some thought he was the President-elect to be, How easily is done a Colinectomy.
