A Poem

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!

The above is a poem made up entirely of actual quotes from George W. Bush.

The quotes have been arranged for aesthetic reasons only by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson.

yer mean ... just mean ...

I was just back on break ... sitting in the warehouse working on this little simple rock and roll turnaround ...

it could work ... I'd have to repeat some lines ... just for effect ... let me see what I can come up with ... if I get it done I'll put an mp3 on my email list storage space ...

My suggestion is contact the creator of this word montage and secure his permission to use it. Bonus points if you could incorporate snippets of Bush himself saying some of these things.

Then send off a copy to Dr. Demento. And give me 5% of the gross (I know the recording business; there is no net). :-)
