Colonial Conditions

Islamabad
Is not so bad.

Pashtunabad
Is veddy bad.

Peshawar's
In civil war.

Karachi's
Hot and scratchy.

You know I'm not a quitter,
But I quit if I go to Quetta;

The market crawls with jihadi,
Perfect place to hide a Quaeda.

Though, what a fun job
To go to work in Punjab,

To which Lahore's
A fragrant open door!


Special Ambassador Richard Holbrooke had just
returned from a comprehensive tour of Pakistan in February 2009.
