“Judge declines to bar DOGE from the US Institute of Peace after standoff”
—Reuters

Peace Now, who needs it? Not DOGE, friends,
Who took the Institute by force.
Apparently this outfit spends
Too much on—what? On peace, of course.
DOGE can’t have that. Peace is a load
Too heavy for the USA.
Peacemakers, you can hit the road.
Reprieve? There’s no grace time for prey.
The chainsaw having made its cut,
The officers with guns rushed in.
Your peace is dead, your office shut.
And DOGE collects another skin.
