Poetic Political Commentary: George Bush Endorses John McCain

George Bush Endorses John McCain

Politics, ’tis often said,
Doth make some strange bedfellows;
Old angers and hostilities
For winning sake get mellowed.

And so George Bush and John McCain
To no one’s great surprise,
Now hug and join in hopes John wins
The next election prize.

The problem here for John McCain
‘Bout this unseemly flirt,
Ain’t that at many times gone by
The Bush team did him dirt.

His problem is Bush policies,
A long litany of dross;
That now hang round poor old John’s neck
Like a two-ton albatross.
