POETRY

1)

Perhaps it is all due to our climate

Perhaps it reflects the mood of the nation

But fall foliage lacks color this year --

going from green, to yellow, to brown

2)

How 'bout those sheep who elected a king

Where are they now that the truth is revealed

Had they looked with open eyes at first

they would not now cower in shame

3)

The war in Iraq will last many years

beyond the reign of our weed-like king

Much American blood will be shed

to ensure the flow of crude oil

4)

How many millions are spent each day on Iraq

How many billions are spent each month

Who is the president kidding when he says

we can't afford to expand health care for children

5)

I'd never wish to be president

but I'd give anything to be Bush

I want to have his unyielding

optimism in the face of utter failure
