Ode Oh Mighty Conqueror of the Hindu Kush! Mesopotamian Master, Saviour of the dark land of Africa, (where your talk of abstinance got a big hand) and not least the One who brought Baghdad a kind of hush - Was a man ever as great as George W. Bush? Slow to anger, yet when called upon to rush No thought did he spare for profit or gain - When his people called, then that's when he came To tell everyone shouting it was time for some shush. What would you not give to be like George W Bush? As men stood in awe, and maidens did blush This titan stamped his feet on the earth. By the time he had finished no-one knew what was worse - A few days of peace or losing the whoosh. Who had the answer but George W. Bush?. Oh Bush, Oh Great Bush! We thank God that you came At the moment you did, To put paid to the game Of the cohorts of Clinton, Oh the depth of the shame We had suffered in silence, Until you became The Scourge of the Taleban, The inspirational flame Of every American Whatever his name, Then what you did to Saddam Hussein, Stopped most of us going completely insane By giving us still more other people to blame. So raise your voices, sing out His Name - George W. Bush - yea, the one and the same. Oh Bush how we pray you will always remain Our final bulwark against the tame and the lame. For this plus reasons one, two, three We dedicate our poetry To ensuring for all eternity You stay forever out of your tree. (previously unpublished)
