A look at George Bush.
Dubya woke up one morning and decided to go for a jog,
To overlook the big city and its thick clouds of smog.
While hiking up a mountain with a feeling of American pride,
He was approached by a small business owner who saw him and cried:

Sir, my company is failing because you’ve stopped investing in education,
Will you please restore our children’s potential and my success before both suffer humiliation?

Dubya said he was busy, and didn’t see no gain in what he could do,
And so he continued on, running in the nude.

While circling for the fifth time a great natural track,
A Young women on a bike approached him, baby strapped to her back.

Sir, my husband was deployed to Iraq for the third time, never actually getting home,
Would you please deliver us from this unjust war before bereaved, I raise my child alone?

Dubya said he was busy, and didn’t see no gain in what he could do,
And so he continued on, running in the nude.

Just before returning home to take his medicine,
A car drove up along side him and he met a senior citizen.

Sir, I’m old and I’m tired, having worked every day of my life,
Social Security isn’t cutting it, for me or my wife.
Will you please guarantee further government support so my and I can survive to make amends?

Dubya said he was busy, and didn’t see no gain in what he could do,
And so he continued on, running in the nude.

Moment’s later Dubya’s body was hit by the old man’s car,
Flying fifty feet into the air and falling upon a bar.

Dubya asked, “Why’d you do it?”
As his dying words were spit.

The old man stared him down and said:

Your “reforms” are already going to kill me,
So I’m doing my patriotic duty to the world and making sure I take you with me.
