Ahoy There, President Gilligan!

by Tony Peyser

When George Bush asked regular folks
If he could please have their vote
Did he mention one thing he wanted
Was a big-ass expensive boat?

I don't believe he did but now
Through Congressional pals he's got
A very un-Man Of The People
Rich boy, Presidential yacht.

This underscores the division
Between the haves and the have-nots;
The have-nots still don't have
But the haves now have yachts.
