Haiku by Washington Post Writer re The Pitbull on Pantleg of

Opportunity

 

BUSH HAIKU

 

This is a poem made up entirely of actual quotations from George W.

Bush, arranged for " aesthetic " purposes, by Washington Post writer

Richard Thompson. A wonderful poem like this is too good not to share.

 

Ah, yes! A testament to literacy in the age of Every Child Left Behind!

 

 

 

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER!

 

I think we all agree, the past is over.

This is still a dangerous world.

It's a world of madmen and uncertainty

And potential mental losses.

 

Rarely is the question asked

Is our children learning?

Will the highways of the Internet

Become more few?

 

How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.

I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.

 

I know that the human being

And the fish can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope,

Where our wings take dream.

 

Put food on your family!

Knock down the tollbooth!

Vulcanize society!

Make the pie higher!

 

Make the pie higher!

This reminds me of a piece that was making the rounds last summer about

this time. It is also (still) timely.

Speaking as a person three of whose grandparents were murdered by the

Nazis I find it difficult but accurate to say that Bush makes Hitler

look like a nice man.
