The Yankee Leader of Likud

Michael Peach

Alas, I see the evil pact
I’d feared would come is now a fact:
The Yankee leader of Likud,
Who hates the Mid-East neighbourhood,
Has brought to Zion the Wild West
And Christian cowboys full of zest.
Though they would have us think they’re meek,
Apocalypse they surely seek.
