Poetry slam, part three

Okay, I’m slowing down. I was at the poem for about an hour today, and only mnaged to add these few stanzas:

While Hamas and Fatah, the bitterest of frenemies.
Could agree on just this: That Jews were their enemies.
Iran was itself, up to things deleterious.
In need of a hug, Olmert said, “Let’s get Syria’s.”

The stock market crashed, the economy’s frozen,
A crooked investor took a bite from the Chosen.
Lenders got stingy, Detroit’s in a crisis
Even Blagojevich had to lower his prices.

In an Iowa plant that was meant to be kosher,
Its managers’ style became gaucher and gaucher
In a workforce of hundreds, it seems the majority
Had a beef with Rubashkin’s hire authority.

I’d like to get the whole thing done around 3.

UPDATE: It’s 2:55 and I think I’m done. We’re at 479 words, which is plenty. I’ll post the whole thing after it’s proofread.
