Poet Statesman...

From my recently-met friend, Chez, at Smells Like White Spirit. I give you the President of the United States of America, poet statesman:



MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush


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!

  3. GWB isn't the only one who's a poet but doesn't know it. For fans of American Idol, I give you Ode To Taylor Hicks by Randy Jackson:

    Yo, Taylor, man
    I don't know what's goin' on, man
    I don't know if it's me tonight or whatever
    But dude, that was completely the wrong song
    For me
    For you
    I didn't get it
    It wasn't half as good as the original
    It felt like weird karaoke to me
    I don't know what's happenin' here
    I don't know what's goin' on here

    Plenty more here.
