The General Who Came to Dinner
[Lines composed
on hearing that General Musharraf will soon be dining at the
White House]
By Tariq Ali
General Musharraf's coming
to dinner,
Is he a loser or is he a winner?
The White House kitchen is all a flutter,
Condee Rice with melted butter?
The Secretary of State is called
for advice,
The General, he says, is incredibly nice
Enjoys a drink, is hot in the sack
Just this once, couldn't we get Clinton back?
Rumsfeld's nervous, just back
from Delhi,
Where they think the General's smelly;
Their nuclear trigger's primed and set
In case the General loses his bet.
Cheney, feels his pacemaker:
'Im ready!
I'll make sure the General's steady,
'If he shifts we'll pull the plug,
Down he'll go, glug, glug, glug.'
In Kabul and Kandahar
A special transmission on al-Jazeera:
They watch the feast from afar.
'Look' a child shouts,
'Look at the food'.
It does not improve his mother's mood:
'Watch them closely, my son.
Those men who eat
Are the men who bomb.'
Tariq Ali is
the author of The
Stone Woman, the third novel in his Islamic Quartet, just
published in paperback by Verso.
