Barnum & Bailey's Alphabet Soup
----------------------------------
They fly through the air with the greatest of ease,
But old Eric Rudolph has 'em down on their knees.

Good people of Andrews, We're here in force,
But we'll never find Eric Rudolph-of course.

Flying black helicopters, swarming in vans,
And darn Eric Rudolph just slipped through their hands.

Low flying helo's threatening at night,
But old Eric Rudolph is nowhere in sight.

250 strong, and still empty handed,
It seems Eric Rudolph has got these guys branded.

Deeper & Deeper they trek through the foilage.
It looks like these boys have been to clown college.

Marching along in their camouflage pants,
While inside their compound an officer rants:

"This ain't Ruby Ridge with innocent victims,
We'd shoot if we could, but looks like he's licked us.”

Hundreds of men and millions of dollars
They've bit off this time more than they can swallow.

“If Richard Jewell would just have confessed,
We wouldn't be in this gosh-awful mess.”

While Eric Rudolph has risen to fame,
The alphabets put Barnum & Bailey to shame.

Godspeed Eric Rudolph.
