KERRI-OKI RUNAROUND
News Item: Secretary Kerry gets nowhere with calls for sanctions against Russia or
in the framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Yes, I am Kerr-ioki, the singing parrot, and I sing a song of peace ...
While you make war?
What is war but a means to peace? I sing of peace, of conflict resolution ...
You fly here, you fly there, you fly everywhere, all the time ...
Yes, I am a parrot. I like to fly ... And I like to talk ...
And nobody listens, but you must have millions of frequent flier miles ...
No, that is a real tragedy ... none at all on these government planes ... But what the
heck ... the wife's a billionaire ...
Marrying rich ... that's your real secret?
Always did it ... and publicity. That's the ticket. But I sing of peace. ..Always did ...
That's why I took this job.
All the killings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, and now provocateurs
shooting 80 demonstrators and police in Kiev to topple the government ...
Hey! I like omelets, and you can't make one without breaking eggs. I break eggs and
I sing of peace.
Is there anything else you can do?
Yes, I can fry and I can fly ... and I can marry rich like my friend McCain ... and I can
sing ... Oh yes, and I have a plan ...
