Remember Y 2 K?
Then, there was 911
It came his first year
Then there was gulf war 2
Remember Katrina in 2005?
Don't forget financial crash of '08
Am I forgetting anything?
His leadership plate was always full
Such was the presidency of George Bush 2.
My favorite ex-President-in-Law
Huge wad of tobacco set in his jaw
He'd spit some out on the rug
Said it did away with bugs
Yecch! George Bush Jr. dubbed it ~ 'Shock and Awe'

Some of you may remember Operation 'Shock
and Awe' in Iraq during Junior's Presidency, back
in the day.
War criminals
Is Putin a war criminal if judged by the western criteria
that makes him, along with George Bush and Tony Blair
war criminals; who can forget Falluja, where thousands
of innocent people were killed in their homes in a hail
of bullets, no one thought of saving the civilians.
I think of Libya the NATO/USA/Britain reduced to a failed
state in the thirst of killing Gadhafi, the eccentric despot
who had done more to bring Libya into a modern country
than anyone else had dreamed of.
He brought water to an arid state and made it green.
There was a peace talk brokered by South Africa, were
Gadhafi offered to resign but rejected because
we wanted him dead, and we succeeded.
The western powers have now managed to make a short
war into a long one using Zelensky as a frontman.
It is Putin they want dead; nothing else matters, not
the death of thousands of civilians caught up in this mayhem.
But for NATO or Brussels risking the life of their own people
carrying out a policy that eventually will bring Europe to her
knee by hunger and frost; may they all be damned.
We heard of the ambush
And we remembered George Bush:
A Radio-Announced Ambush
And we made for some bush,
The man in my front continually push …
One hell of a Lazing Runner
While my heart was Bunsen Burner.
Quick was I to condemn his speed,
Ready to it with fuel feed,
Sure survival was The Rare,
Whenever it became Guerrilla Warfare,
Smart shooters picking off their targets
While The pursued chiefly his teeth grits,
Doing the thing like a Mad March Hare
And choosing to not a lot care.
The man in my front was A Lousy Escapee,
Running and you’d think An Amputee.
George Bush Jr. spoke today
about a world united by horror
to defeat a reign of terror
Joe Biden had already spoken
a coward succumbing to terror
to restore that same reign of horror
this person you have never seen before.
If you saw Obama walking down the same street, you would
see him as a slightly balding man of colour, you certainly
would not call him a unless you are bigoted racist.
If you see George Bush along the same street, you may
think he is a retired school teacher whether he was good
at his job wouldn´t cross your mind.
If you saw Joe Biden, you would think he was an old man
walking from a restaurant to his car, and not think
about his political past, and the wrong decision he has made.
If you talk about the merit of people in power, do so
by knowing what they have done, name-calling is an emotive
reaction and blind us for what good they might have done.
They hated Nixon for being too formal
though he made relations with China normal
They hated Ford for pardoning Nixon
though his own future he was risking
They hated Carter for his toothy smile
though for M-E peace he went the extra mile
They hated Reagan for his patriotism
though he toppled the Berlin Wall, ending that schism
They hated George Bush Sr. for his oil wells
though they cheered him when Saddam fell
They hated Clinton for his sexual escapades
though they let him off the hook anyway
They hated Bush Jr. for his principled stands
though he took down the evil Taliban
They hated Obama for his constant preaching
And they hate Trump for Constitutional 'overreaching'
I hope Joe Biden is ready to be hated
For as the next President that's what fated
George Bush went up top for a walk
You should have heard Donald Trump squawk!
"It MUST be a crime!
The limelight is mine!"
(The peafowl was once a peacock)
Pres George Bush Junior
Or tyrant King George II?
What's the difference?
Sometimes it's hard to be a Prime Minister
Giving all your love to just one man (George Bush)
You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man.
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
(Sorry Tammy...!)
My small way of showing anger for this year's circus of an election process:
I recall when George Bush had to duck
a thrown shoe, or he may have got struck.
What I'd love now to see
is some dog take a pee
on that dump of a Trump. What a schmuck!
for the the Political Ordeal Poetry Contest of CT
The suffering inflicted when I was George Bush
I’ll gladly take back.
This is my calling to give back to society.
Love and fulfillment are fakes, I’ll not give in
evil and good, all I can handle and take in
hard work is a fluke and a trap
to stop me from giving myself an applause.
Nature can give its all, which is why the sun is black
someone’s always telling me
to go to the nearest bank and take it all.
I love the idea because,
I just watched a spider grow to a Hippopotamus
then I realize I can take down the arm forces
to please my possibility of glory
in deliverance to mega winning lottery.
Hope I am making sense!
I'm Alfred and I killed the people who built the Batcave.
I know that it was an evil and shameful way to behave.
What I did was very wrong and it's enough to make your hair curl.
But I couldn't risk them exposing Master Wayne's secret to the world.
They died of heart failure because what I did was sinister and crude.
I killed them by showing them a photo of George Bush Senior's wife in the nude.
That photo is enough to kill anyone.
It's much more cruel than using a gun.
You'd better not rat me out or I'll show you that photo too.
That's something that you don't want to happen to you.
By the Way Brian
You must realize she was the only one
I ever dreamed about or looked upon;
Was lovely lady who looked like that
Until my mind died in mortal combat.
Even though news is my love so true
And write poems never liking to re-do
For fear of my meaning being mis-used;
Me, no one would I ever have abused.
Maybe in mortal combat I didn't die;
All had been a hoax to make you cry
More and more and you kept on crying;
With Williams whose first name is Bryan.
No lying Brine, why would you do this:
Now for six months he will have to miss;
So subject aside I did decide to push;
Look for likes of guy named George Bush.
By everyone in Texas, George is deified
Even though many times may have lied
About military records and alcoholic had been
Saying he never would start doing it again.
Now with Nixon he will wait at Watergate
And wrong long 18 minutes he did hate;
Why would a politician always want to lie?
Like dirty clothes, will wash, hang out and dry.

I voted for Barack Obama four years ago.
If you're wondering if I'm going to vote for him again, the answer is no.
Two weeks from now I'm going to vote for Mitt Romney.
After watching the debates, he's the candidate for me.
If Romney wins, he'll be a far better Republican than George Bush was.
I hope that Romney wins two weeks from now, I'll be happy if he does.
I believe that he can balance the budget of the great USA.
I'll be tickled pink if he wins in two weeks on Election Day.
