He said, "They're really after me,
But we should not infer
That Forrestal was crazy,
Because, in fact, they were.
Like Bevin and Count Bernadotte
He stood athwart their path,
And he thereby incited
Their homicidal wrath.
So, from on high they dropped him,
Down thirteen floors he fell,
And our Mid East policy
Descended into hell.
