DARK night gave way, that Jan the first,
To hopes that now the sun would burst
On where Saddam had once been king
Tsar, caesar, lordof everything,
And with his acolytes and thugs,
And poison gas and listening bugs,
...
To hear a court say Berlusconi
Must be tried, the law was phoney
That granted him immunity
And so conferred impunity.
