My pseudo-Seuss-ian poem about W...
W is for weenie, and whiner, and wimp
And for whore, with PNAC as the pimp
W is for worthless, and weasel, and weak
And for WMDs they so desperately seek
W is for aWol
He served in the Guard
Going to 'Nam, it seems, was too hard
He prances in flight suits
He thinks he's a hero
But as we've now learned, he's less than a zero
He didn't show up! Not for days, not for weeks.
And now, Karl Rove most urgently seeks
SOMEONE who saw Bush - he doesn't care who
And if none can be found, bashing Kerry will do.
W is for Waffle
Yes, waffle. (Or FLIP-FLOP!) He's done it a bunch.
Let's start with this list - when we're done, we'll have lunch.
(If there weren't so many, we could call it brunch...
But this will take time. He does it so often,
I think that his brain is beginning to soften.)
No gay-marriage amendment -
OOPS! Now he’s for it.
No Draft - says the Prez -
Then he moves to restore it.
“Pro-Choice! No, Wait!
Pro-Life it must be,
If Christian-right voters
will then vote for me!”
“No nation-building with our military -”
He flip-flopped on that one so fast it was scary.
“I’m a War president,”
the little man said.
Now he wants to be known
as the Peace Prez instead.
“I’m not gonna change, see?”
He Wants to be tough.
We’ve seen through his lies.
We’ve had more than enough.
W is for Wicked.
Not the kind from out East, where "wicked" is slang
For the best, not the least.
No, wicked as: EVIL. Just look at him sneer!
He's awful. It really could not be more clear.
W is for WARMONGER.
He’s glad we’re at war!
He hit the Trifecta!
This whole situation
Couldn’t be more perfecta!
The rich making money,
The poor getting killed.
The country’s no safer
And we’re getting billed.
That’s how they planned it.
The surplus is gone.
The deficit’s grown
Even more than my lawn.
So, W must go now.
We really can't wait.
We cannot afford him.
So PARTICIPATE
In W's de-flation,
demotion, demise.
We KNOW we can do it!
Because we are WISE.

4. By the way, I called it "W is for..." and I noted you (Grannylib) as
the author. Excuse me for taking the liberty.
