"Bart, having sex on prom night is as American as our fifty-first state, Saudi Israelia!"

The Simpsons cartoon show, Fox TV

Saudi Israelia, Saudi Israelia
Stronger, more potent than even Australia

Writers for Simpsons doth dreamt up that quip
Unconscious no doubt, a great Freudian slip

Accurate too, long allies in secret
Cartoonish veracity which they won’t admit

True character of twin theocracies
A perfect alliance, they match to a tee

Taliban to the left and the right of us too
Fundies each one, Muslim and Jew

(Let us not forget Christians, they’re in on the game
“The devil is secular” they wail and complain)

Tel Aviv and Riyadh, then on to DC
Mono-theocracies fill them with glee

A figment you say, for laughs that are cheap?
Sorry to say folks, read ‘em and weep

Published then perished years ago in Beirut
Documents surfaced their content acute

Light verdant was flashed from the House of Sa’ud
Straight to Spring Hill (the Arabs got screwed)

Avaunt! said old Faisal, Just go right ahead!
Take Gaza! The West Bank! Fill Nasser with dread!

Diversion secures the oil trove for me
As well as my family (and also DC)

You get the land and we get the oil
Progressive forces thus completely embroiled

Those Palestinians? A troublesome crew
Leftist and secular, they must be subdued

Printed quite plainly in black and in white
Wahhabis gave Israel an eager green light

Just for one day published there in full view
The next day – poof! - gone, the subject taboo

But we all understood then the hand in the glove
Israelis and Saudis share a deep, secret love

How sweetly Abdullah holds hands with the prez
(Arik wished he were there to add his caress)

Tripartite alliance of monotheists
Beating back justice with their iron fists

A cartoon on Fox, ironic forsooth!
Bart’s prescient prom date has blurted the truth
