Having Won the Election, Bush says No Iraq Accountability is Needed
by Tony PeyserIn your macho posing
I hate to put a crimp
But you sound like
Your Dad, the wimp.
I’ve got graffiti
And a wall to fling it on:
Have you got the balls
To really bring it on?
With your folksy style
You got re-elected
Half the country’s
Feeling dejected.
Old Europe thinks
You’re a total putz
Are you ever going
To show some guts?
Occupying Iraq
Is hopelessly old school
Blowing it up
Is the new rule.
Then do the same with
Syria and Iran
Show them A-rabs
Who’s the man.
Go unify
Both church and state
Pass laws so gays
Can’t even date.
Evangelicals
Don’t need maybes ---
Ban abortion
More Christian babies!
The only good Commie
Is a dead one
The only good state
Is a Red one.
Send PBS off a
Cliff in a fast car
Replace Dan Rather
With clips from NASCAR.
Go nuke welfare
End Special Ed
Who cares if the poor
Remain unfed?
As you do what the
Neo-Cons are thinking
I’ll bet the rush is
Better than drinking.
So what if you’ve ruined
Our society?
At least you still have
Your sobriety.
Stick to your guns, George,
That’s one of your charms
As troops salute you
With prosthetic arms.
