Richard III Revisited

I would that this nightmarish play would end,
This bloody farce with stoop'd and stupid king
(For whom, should circumstance make him extend
His kingdom for a horse, I've just the thing:
Two suicidal Sunnis in a suit
Left over from a Stooges short: the head
Is far too erudite, far too astute
To be much use, but what's another dead
Iraqi, give or take? Besides, the ass
Is right up our king's alley: at a glance
He sidles up, perceives a horsey pass—
A coy flick of the tail—and drops his pants
To pound away with wanton ecstasy
Precisely where they stashed the TNT).
