Shrubby the Poet!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Oh my, lump in the bed,
How I've missed you.

Roses are redder,
Bluer am I,
Seeing you kissed by that charming French guy.

The dogs and the cat, they missed you too,
Barney's still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe.
The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier.
Next time you want an adventure, just land on a carrier.

Gooooooood. That's terrible.

Wow. I'm pretty sure not even his father's connections could get that into a poetry book.

Didn't Clinton have a thing for poetry too, poems like "There once was a man from Nantucket..."?

Wow. I didn't know Dubya was a Vogon.

How did you read that all without an aneurism?

I thought this was a joke. That's just fucking awful.

It came from the pathetic mind of Shrubby, what else would it be?

Part of me died when I read that.

That reads like something I might have written when I was ten. Maybe. On a bad day.

This is the kind of thing that you'd expect some speechwriter to make up for PR purposes. But this is too bad to be fake.

Mao Tse Tung wrote poetry too...

That brought me to tears. Our country is doomed!!!

I've seen two year olds write poems better than that, and worse yet, that man is the leader of the free world!

I move for putting this in the SLAM forum. Nobody could be this bad a poet without making a science of it, during the process forsaking logic. The morality part speaks for itself.

God damn, I feel the need to vomit.

And just think —this is the man so many Republican voters thought was better qualified to outwit terrorists.

That is at least half-true, though...

Or he could have written it as a joke.

Hyperion · Post by **Hyperion** » 2003-10-06 01:27am

Oh god... The pain...

That must be what happens when someone who is anything but poetry inclined and literate tries to write a poem...

You do know I now have to reformat and reinstall my brain because of that thing shorting out the logic center again.

W-w-wait... That's fucking REAL? The fucking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES actually wrote that silly horseshit!??!?!

You lie!

From the CNN article:

She revealed that President Bush had penned a poem for her when she got back from a five-day solo trip to Europe, where she attended a book festival in Moscow and visited France -- getting two kisses on the hand from French President Jacques Chirac.

"President Bush is a great leader and a husband, but I bet you didn't know he is also quite the poet," she said. "Upon returning home last night from my long trip I found a lovely poem waiting there for me."

And then she read it aloud. In public.

I thought it was rather witty.

Jim Raynor · Post by **Jim Raynor** » 2003-10-06 02:18am

Damn, this is poem is beyond stupid. What's even more unbelievable is that the Bushs were dumb enough to actually go public with this.

If you define it as a psychological weapon, yes, yes it is.

Maybe he thinks it will win over the lefties.
