Wrong Bush Brother Sent To Check Out Tsunami Damage

by Tony Peyser

Five years ago in Thailand
On important business, we assume
This gorgeous woman arrived
At Neil Bush’s hotel room.

She didn’t ask for money
And was so nice he mistook her
For a very friendly stranger
Not just a high-class hooker.

Neil told this absurd story
Without any shame or remorse
During the proceedings
Relating to his divorce.

As the tides of grief keep crashing
In South Asia without ebb
Neil just has more experience
Comforting locals there than Jeb.
