Old Man Ribber took a break - let his pen grow fallow.
Didn't merely want to fake - and write stuff too shallow.
But many events transpired - during his vacation.
Deep dark forces had conspired - to confound the na-tion.

Wiki-Leaks caused trouble here - they unleashed a crap shop.
Gibbs said we have naught to fear - from one geek with lap top.
We had time to stop this play - if we'd just been bolder.
But not with the D.O.J. - run by Eric Hol-der.

Rioting in France and Greece - now has come to Britain.
Once lands of domestic peace - now they're seeing hittin'.
Angry French and English blokes - now burn, stone, and throttle.
Makes us wonder why our folks - want them as our mo-del.

O. pushed for a compromise - both sides now will yell out.
Keep Bush taxes? Is it wise? - Left calls it a sell out.
O. now shows some guts and grace - at last gives direction.
What has brought this change of face? - It's the last e-lec-tion.

Now the snow is falling fast - 'tis the festive season.
Old Man Ribber's back at last - with more rhyme than reason.
Cheer to all both near and far - as bells jingle jangle.
For no matter who you are - you're not Charlie Wrangel!
