Our illegitimate office-boy 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 him.
But, as the Washington Post shared on Sunday, Dubya can be
very poetic. In fact, the following is a poem comprised
entirely of actual quotes from George W. The quotes have
been arranged for aesthetic reasons only by Post writer
Richard Thompson:
(maybe we can have this put on the "ubu-web" site? under
fluxus? dada? bubu?):
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.
