A Poem for George

I received an article today about how Pakistan had dumped a

textbook which contained a poem about a great leader when they learned

that the first letter of each line spelled out " PRESIDENTGEORGEWBUSH. "

I found the poem on the internet; it was cloying, poorly written, and

awful. You can find it if you're really interested. But I was so

disgusted, I wrote a version of my own.

 

Ideally, the first letter of each line should be bold-faced or set

larger, so they stand out a little. Take note of them, and render them

thus if you spam it forward, as I hope you will. It will be around the

world in a couple of days:

 

 

Putrid and ugly are words that you'll hear,

Regarding this man, and his wicked career.

Evil! Dishonest! Unswervingly vile!

Simple and Stupid; a Bucket of Bile,

Isn't afraid to lie like a dog,

Doesn't perceive that he lives in a fog.

Eyes that remind me of Alfred E. Neuman,

Never once stopped a buck (take THAT, Harry Truman!).

Turd-Blossom Rove tells him just what to do:

 

Gifts for the wealthiest, nothing for you.

Even his college profs doubt his maturity.

Old people fear for their Social Security.

Reads nothing at all, except " My Pet Goat, "

Gave up on bin-Laden, took Iraq by the throat.

Environment doomed, 2000-plus dead.

World is appalled, economy bled.

 

 

Bully, tyrant, oil racketeer -

Uncurious George: Peddler of fear.

Surely the moment has finally been reached:

He's a failure, a criminal, and must be impeached.
