But it doesn’t rhyme: This is a poem made up entirely of actual things uttered by George W. Bush. They allegedly have been arranged for “aesthetic” purposes by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson. Though it is not actually haiku, it does read like a kind of blank verse.
BUSH HAIKU
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!
Thanks to Lili.
