A Poem for George
A BUZZFLASH READER
CONTRIBUTION
by Todd Lockwood
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.
