Don’t quit your day job

How does President Bush keep himself busy when he’s not out fighting terrorism? Why, writing poetry, of course! Here’s the full text of a poem he recently wrote for the First Lady (as reported by CNN.com):
Untitled (by George W. Bush, age 57)
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.
Wow — I don’t know what to say. I will say, if nothing else, that the love triangle hinted at by the poem among President Bush, the First Lady, and French President Jacques Chirac is intriguing.
Now, here’s a poem that I wrote in third grade (please note that it was submitted to my teacher with a drawing of a brontosaurus sitting on a person):
One Day I Bought a Dinosaur (by Jess, age 9)
One day I bought a dinosaur
I bought him at the corner store
I bought him for a dollar and a cent
He’s very, very different
From any other toy I’ve got
Ugh–he sure does weigh a lot!
I know it’s good, but is it presidential good?
