A Poem by W

This is a poem made up entirely of actual quotations from George W. Bush, arranged, for “aesthetic” purposes, by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson. A wonderful poem like this is too good not to share. A testament to literacy in the age of Every Child Left Behind.

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER!

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 pant leg 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!
