Why didn't Bush make sure this shortage
Of flu shots was taken care of?
Probably just another problem
That he was unaware of.

His aides surely should've known
And in person or in a note
Warned him that seniors most affected
Are known to consistently vote.

Bush clearly didn't think that these
Injections mattered a lot
Now Kerry's chance at election
Has an even better shot.
