meddling

Ike put advisors into Vietnam
but no one thought to tell John Kennedy
the Dulles brothers didn't give a damn;
they'd get deferments for their progeny
and Turks deployed out missiles in their East
one more of Eisenhower's reckless bets
one more surprise, and this one not the least
at least to Jack, if not the Soviets
and Bay of Pigs was icing on the top
an amateurish job, thrown for a loss
as if he'd run to rescue their Black Op
the president reminded them who's boss
transition in strategic disarray
was orchestrated by "our" CIA
