Presidential "Pome"
with thanks to Dr. Janet Gray

Our new president has taken some criticism for not having a poet set the
tone at his inauguration.  The absence of a poet, or the absence of the
arts in general, speaks volumes about the president. But, as the
Washington Post shared on Sunday, February 25 , Dubya can be very poetic.  In fact, the following is a poem entirely comprising actual quotes from Baby Bush.  The quotes have been arranged for aesthetic reasons only by Post writer Richard Thompson.
 

 
MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree,
the past is over.

This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen
And uncertainty
And potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of
the Internet
Become more few?
How many hands
Have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg
of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
Can coexist.
Families is where our nation
Finds hope,
Where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize Society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!
Major league.
