Hang your head Ambassador Austin

THE EDITOR: I have composed this ditty for our esteemed US Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago. It is to be sung to the tune of that famous classic “Tom Dooley.” Other readers may feel free to add to it — tastefully.

1) “Hang down your head Roy Austin,
Hang down your head in shame,
You represent a country who is playing the Nazi game.”

2) “Hang down your head Roy Austin,
Hang down your head and cry,
Your boys keep killing Iraqis,
How many more kids must die.”

3)“Hang down your head Roy Austin,
Cause you can’t look me in the eye.
“Hang down your head Roy Austin,
With each American lie.”

4) “Hang down your head Roy Austin,
Hang down your head in shame
We all know Roy Austin about your country’s torture game.”

5) “Hang down your head Roy Austin,
Hang down your head and cry,
Will you stand by Roy Austin while thousands of Palestinians die?”

Apologies to “Tom Dooley” and its composers
