The " Quotable " George W. Bush

 

 

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

W. Bush. These have been arranged, only for aesthetic purposes, by

Washington Post writer, Richard Thompson.

 

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!

 

 

 

I wish I could shake the hands of the men who've had their hands cut

off, because of Saddam Hussein.
