Presidential Poetry

Liberal Art

For those across the aisle.

In fact I’m not so power-crazed

As you and yours might think;

I’m not intoxicated with

The power that I drink.

Of course I’d like to stick around

To finish up the job;

There’s ground to gain, and money too

For Halliburton’s mob.

But please, make no mistake here, no

Misunderestimation.

Reversing four years of my rule

Would take a generation.

Though Karl ensures I’ll keep my job

With landing, leak, or lie;

Poor Democrats; you realize

You need it more than I.
