CHE GUEVARA
by Christopher Gillen
(to the tune of "Mona Lisa")

Che Guevara, Che Guevara, men have named you
You're so like the rebel with the tousled hair
Was the Battle in Seattle what enflamed you
And persuaded you to move from here to there?

Do you fight for revolution, Che Guevara
Or has your complaining merely been bourgeois?
Many schemes have been hatched on your weblog
Was your typing only griping?
Are you Red, are you Green, Che Guevara?
Or just a bitter white boy playing commissar?
