War is brewing in the Mideast. But the article on Whitney Houston is much, much, much longer.
The last time one of Israel's diplomats was shot while tensions were high with a neighbor, Israel invaded.
The Jewish state is ready for a war,
If history’s an indicator. This,
The Ayatollah’s posturing, dismissing
Any claim of innocence before
The facts are gathered on the circumstance
That nearly killed Israeli diplomats
By Mr. Netanyahu (caveats
To all who hold an innocent romance
With Middle East due process), is a lot
Like Lebanon in ’82. The fight
Would boil in Beirut many a night
Because a diplomat had nearly gotten
Killed, and though we'd PLO condemn,
(And justly so, perhaps), it wasn’t them.
(And also, Whitney Houston may have done
Too many drugs, and if you sit and wonder
Why I’d even point it out, behold:
Her tale takes three times longer to unfold.)
