Embedded in Afghanistan
were the General and the Blonde.
It gets lonely in those mountains
and she was close and warm.
She was his biographer
and he her primal source-
When he offered her "full access"
Her reaction was "of Course".
Their spouses both were far away
in another land and clime
Why not steal a kiss or two
is it really such a crime?
For this betrayal of our trust
Petraeus now must pay.
He placed his privates in command
and now he rues the day.

Embedded in Afghanistan
were the General and the Blonde.
It gets lonely in those mountains
and she was close and warm.
She was his biographer
and he her primal source-
When he offered her "full access"
Her reaction was "of Course".
Their spouses both were far away
in another land and clime
Why not steal a kiss or two
is it really such a crime?
For this betrayal of our trust
Petraeus now must pay.
He placed his privates in command
and now he rues the day.
A light hearted look at the Petraeus- Broadwell follies
