Poetry Special: Our Poets Are Inspired By Dick Cheney's Knees

Oh, Vice President,

You walked so slowly to the car the other day,

After the operation to remove 'aneurysms' from your knees.

It sounds really serious, that.

A bit like wot Arnold Schwarzenegger got in Total Recall, but didn't his brain almost exploded then?

Either you are a tough cookie, or someone made up that diagnosis for the insurance claim form.

Dad says it sounds like a fiddle to him,

And that you should give up the Riverdancing.
