THIS IS A POEM IN THE "BESTIAL SANCTITY" SEQUENCE
(And a proud BRONZE cup holder to boot)
Little Georgie Bush
Sat upon his toosh(+ see note below)
Counting his money one day.
Along came Osama,
Towelheaded charmer,
And blew the twin towers away.
The US reeled in shock:
How dare some alien schlock
Attack them without any warning?
Palestine danced in joy
Now the world's bully boy
Had learned about suffering that morning.
Georgie took it bad,
He was a vengeful lad
And threw the world's sympathy away.
He unleashed war's dogs,
Killed a hundred thousand wogs,
"I'll show you who's boss" he did say.
Poor Afghanistan
Ruled by the Taliban
Was the first place to hear from our Georgie:
Kabul was smashed
And bombed and bashed
As the US began its blood-orgy.
Georgie got bullish
And Saddam was foolish
And Weapons of Mass Destruction
Were just an excuse
For the extensive use
Of Iraqi mass-deconstruction.
Georgie and Donnie,
Dickie and Connie
(A foursome who need to be fêted)
Through blood, sweat and tears
In only four years
Made America universally hated.
With a military erection
And a paid-for election
Bush has another term unfurled.
Don't the neocons know
There's nowhere to go
Once you have no friends in the world?
Iran and North Korea
O tremble in fear
At the fate which may well await you;
But with a little luck
Instead of a full fuck
Georgie may just masturbate you.
Democracy sleeps
And Liberty weeps;
The world is black and unjust.
But untrammelled power
Will one day turn sour
And America will crumble to dust.
FOOTNOTE
+ toosh = from tuchis, Yiddish for backside. Whilst not suggesting George is Jewish (bad electoral news) he is of course an avid supporter of Sharon and the fascist gang in Israel who have killed off thousands of Palestinians with his blessing. It's a harsh old world.

Simply good-it is as it is-point.
-
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!! I love this poem!!!! I'm bookmarking it! Thanks for lighting up my day! -
While I do agree with yoru poem, I cannot say that I exactly like your wording, but it is pretty well written and for that, I have to applaud
-
I can't say I agree with your views but at least you express them well. However I thought it was Tush and who are the Western Oriental Gentelmen [wogs] you mention
-
Thank you for the BRONZE cup in your competition! Especially since you didn't agree with all of the content! It's still true of course...........
-
awesome.
-
although i don't agree with everything you said, i do LOVE the idea to nursery rhyme the poem. It is a really great peice.

I liked this, sorry I can't leave a good comment, but I have to go. thanks for entering though! -
Your poem is better than factual.. unfortunately. The neo-cons had planned long before 9/11 to go into Afgansitan and Iraq. Iraq was not in retaliation for the so called attacks on American interests but rather due to Saddam switching to the Euro as oil currency. The love being expressed for Israel is the love of a religious fanatic seeking to manipluate the sheeple into believing that these things MUST be done and looked forward to so that the second coming of Christ take place. And all the sheeple say.. AMEN... GOD kill em all that don't kiss our astrals right? God only blesses America cause ya'll knows we deserves to be the chosen ones and if we can't be the chosen ones... well.. we will damned sure kiss up to them and at least look as if we're friends eh? So it is written... so mote it be.
As far as there not being a person in America sick of having their ass dangled over an oil barrel... well.. I'll challenge that assumption with the evidences against it. How many are living off the grid and utilizing alternative renewable energy sources if that's a fact? NOT MANY... so they must like having their asses dangled over an oil barrel... they just think that someone else ought to pay for that barrel and not them. That's right... as long as it don't affect them directly... they could give a rats ass about whom else it might affect. That is the American way. I'm not talking about the legitimate American's of naitve blood either... I'm talking about the ones that stold the land and are still squatting on it as if it were theirs just like everything else they want that already belongs to someone else.
PS... from earlier... her name is actually nothing like Connie. It is DR.Condoleeza Rice. www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/ricebio.html Many here like to call her Congo-sleeza rather. They also call her Condi for short when they are being nice. I'M NOT NICE so I just call her a byotch cause I call em as I see em.

can't say that i don't agree with most of it...i've seen first hand the carnage left from arafat's killing machines...personal opinion..let em blow eachother off the fukking map,it's been goin on since the dawn of time, and policing the desert isn't gonna do a goddamn thing to stop it. i'd support georgie more if he'd just come out and say 'we want your fukking oil, and we're taking it' . wheeeeeew that's bout all the politicin
i can stand for today,,,,,great write yet again ebe
-
excellent
I am not surprised at the abundance of comments to this poem, You must have struck a sore point with many.Personally i love it ,but then I'm one of those Little Englanders, whom one commenter said would soon have vanished into the European melting pot. Let me for the record state that we here in little America are no less patriotic than over there.
True we don't wear it on our sleeve.I think a freeman/woman should be able to question their leaders without being labeled as unpatriotic.
well written piece most enjoyable to read, and so close to the truth that it is painful,for some -
this is really good. lots of good points that ALOT of americans need to realize just what the rest of the world thinks of us.
of course i have my own opinions. i would have just given the fuckers 24hour notice they were about to become land fill and just nuke em all for morbid.
would have saved alot of money. and lives. fuck its war ppl. lighten up.
but ill tell ya what. alot of ppl bash bush too quickly, he is nothing but an elected puppet. a scapegoat. clinton was a puppet too but he enjoyed having someones fist up his ass too much if you ask me.
but ya know. for all of it. its funny how most of the oher countrys back the US or are quick to hide behind us and even quicker to reap the spoils.
except the french gov who ran and hid behind the UN's skirt. flamin snail munchers. god forbig they lose their investment in chemical warfare and world domination hitler syle.
and ya gotta give ole gearge balls. cuz he stood up to the UN. ya kno who else would do that? noooooooooooo we have to have pity on poor bastards.
fuck that.
nuke em. its all bullshit.
and its all over oil. fuckin dead dinosaurs. whatda fuck.
there isnt a person on this planet that aint sick of having their ass dangled over an oil barrel.
anyway
i need a cigarette.
-
I love this! I agree completely, and only wish that I could present my views in such a unique way. Amusing, but sad, because it's all so true
Just be thankful for term limits, we'd be totally screwed without them! Awesome write, you are truly talented.
-
wow
this is really gr8 and funny but well i won't say my views! But i really like it and good luck in the contest!
-
A well written poem. I don't like the content, but it's a well written poem.
"FOOTNOTE
+ toosh = from tuchis, Yiddish for backside. Whilst not suggesting George is Jewish (bad electoral news) he is of course an avid supporter of Sharon and the fascist gang in Israel who have killed off thousands of Palestinians with his blessing."
You fail to mention the Jews who have been slaughtered by the Palestinians with Yasser Arafat's blessing. And don't forget lacking attempt at peace of the new Palestinian leader. -
Is this all it takes to write a poem?
Whoopin is what happens to bad children after daddy takes off his belt. -
My dear Kastor: Your comment is puzzling to me; I assume your government will do the same sort of skillful watching which spotted the 9/11 guys in time and which discovered those non-existent WMDs in "lil ol Irake". I assume that your reference to a retard brother has something to do with members of the Bush family, which is mildly amusing I suppose. Also what in Christ's name is a "Whoopin"? Can I buy one at my local grocery store? Have a nice day.
-
Everyone is entitled to their OPINION. Just remember that if you hate America then you are a threat and the government will watch you. If you become a dangerous threat then the government will deal with you in unfriendly ways.
So if you have a mildly retarded kid brother, who kicks the neighbor and tries to intimidate him, go ahead and stick together when the neighbor pounds him. You probably deserve a whoopin for being a bad influence anyway. -
Bravo, from reading this piece alone I consider you to be not only an incredibly talented writer, but also a very wise person. I love your views and the form that you complied them into. The whole nursery rhyme is a great idea. Keep up the great writing
-
haha this is really great. i cant really say my views on this cuz im an idiot, but i no someone who would REALLY love to comment on this. great job
-
Nice write. Your point is very well proven and expressed although some of the sexual innuendos just added so much more to it. Congrats on an interest grabbing write
-
Dear Gabbi: Yes, well satire can be amusing too. In fact, that's when it works best! Thanks for your comment.
-
Personally I would prefer Adolf Hitler to George Bush. At least he was a good orator. Stalin, of course, was a common vegetable.
-
Say Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler were your leaders. Would you still follow them just because they are your leaders? I really can't understand anyone that follows that idiot in everything he does. He wants to turn America into a dictatorship step by step it seems, like that new law which prevents minorities from addressing their opinions. Or do you think were all misunderestimating him?
-
I wasn't too sure about this poem when I first started reading it - thought the flippancy when dealing with a serious subject matter was wrong. But I was wrong. By the end of the rhyme (fabulous final stanza, by the way) I felt powerfully affected by your message.
-
Dear Home Grown: Thankyou for your comments, especially since you admit to being a supporter of G.Bush and his policies. It's nice to find someone who doesn't slag off political opponents (I must learn from you!) Kind regards
-
A Glorious Anthem!
I am a conservative republican, and President Bush is, in my perception, a man to be applauded.
That said;
This is fabulous writing! It's like a handful of complaints, nodded at all the right people, and put together in a way that we're practically harwired to relate to, the Nursery Rhyme!
Don't the neocons know
There's nowhere to go
Once you have no friends in the world?
Now this was great. It paints a very vivid picture of the US standing on an otherwise empty continent. Very tasty.
Democracy sleeps
And Liberty weeps;
The world is black and unjust.
But untrammelled power
Will one day turn sour
And America will crumble to dust.
Hmmm... Delish! I think, and this is just me babbling, but I think "our Mother" instead of "America" in the last line would work better. It brings more universal emotion, while also, almost purposefully, shunning the political (by taking out the rules that follow the name) and loving what's natural and right with this land of our birth. I wrote A Childs Pledge feeling quite similarly to this indeed. Very enjoyable, thanks for the read! -
Dear Have your pi: I know it's a bit clumsy but you should say it aloud to the "Little Jack Horner" nursery rhyme and it works!" (I think)
-
The bitterness in this piece is fantastic. One thing that stuck out to me:
--"I'll show you who's boss" he did say.--
I find the end of the line a bit jarring. I know it should fit into the rhyme and rhythm, but it feels a little like you've shoved it in there to make it fit. Maybe there's a way to smooth that out?
It's just a small, picky note. =) Not necessarily something that needs fixing, but I wanted to point it out. -
Well , politicaly and not boring , point of views shown , good write!
-
Humorsome
That's so great! I love you...
-KittyKat
P.S. You should tell me all my bedtime nursery rhymes. <3 -
How bout YOU try being president? Yeah, good luck with that. I hate politics and I hate people who bash George Bush who is supposed to be our leader and we should support him. Well ok I don't hate you but OH that gets me SO MAD!!!
...besides all that crap, it wasn't a bad poem. -
This is brilliant, i like the idea of using the structure of a nursery rhyme (i've done that before but not to this extent) the only problem with this si that it had a slighty political meaning, some people may argue that that gave it more depth and purpose but i don't really like the political propaganda, a great poem i just wasn't sure about the meaning
-
This is comical. I like it. Very interesting idea. I really can't find the words to say because I just find this to be so true it is beyond words.......
-
Dear CM: Yes I know it's maybe "Condi" not "Connie"; however Condi is a bit too friendly, Connie is a bit less so and it (1) rhymes with Donnie (2) implies "conning" people. Thank you for your praise!
-
OMG . . . why did i even enter? this was amazing; i feel your anger!! ^_^ good write. my favorite passage was the last one . . . it was really well written.
good luck!

Dear Ecrivain01:
Thank you for your comment but you have missed the point and you are incorrect on several points:-
1) I have not suggested "all Americans" support Bush (but apparently a majority do so);
2) I am very interested to hear that you believe US elections are rigged - this rather weakens the case for invading countries to enforce so-called "democracy" on them;
3) Britain is "not getting ready to be swallowed up by Europe" - this is just a silly and possibly wilful misreading of the facts - Britain is actually PART of Europe, just look at a map.
4) However the poem was not about Britain (although the British Empire was once greater than the current US economic empire and it disintegrated surprisingly quickly: 25% of the globe in 1945, not much left by 1960). A week is a long time in politics as Harold Wilson famously said - and a decade can be a long time for an empire (think of Soviet Russia).
Thank you for reading my poem however.

As much as I dislike Dubya, I still find this offensive. You have the temerity to assume that all Americans support the scumbag, which means there's something wrong with your thinking. Also, Dubya stole this election just like he did the first one. When you have voting machines with no paper trail, that were manufactured by Republicans and the Secretaries of State in Ohio and Florida were Republicans, it's rather obvious what will happen. However, I'm as good an American as anybody, and I have to say that America will outlast England. After all, England is getting ready to be swallowed up by Europe, and before it's over there won't even be an England. As far as America crumbling to dust, all things end, including countries and empires, but you won't be around to see it, nor will your grandchildren. They'll all die of old age before America runs down.
Edited on Feb 20, 7:44 p.m. because 'typo'. -
Condi... not Connie even though they all could be considered cons. Witty little ditty you have here for sure.
-
Great piece,I wish i could express what you say to "his" face and yell at the top of my lungs this is not right....we need a LEADER...not a KILLER.....ty.
-
an excellent anal-lie-cist of georges butt ended efforts to create an imapge of his being presidential by the tally of many loves expended in his unintelligent rages. he attacks Iraq for WMD's when just two countries away is Iran who actually has them and plans to use them on us soon.....explain that fiasco in politically correct terms to the widows and mothers of the troops that may soon be irradiated by Iran's unfound but existing WMD"S while we occuppy a very empty Iraq.
Grreat write...Artis -
Politically correct! Not wrong! Thanks!
-
hahahahahaahahahhahaha...that was soo funny! yet so politically wrong...still, hahahahahahahahaha....good job, i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-
hilarious.
bush should be fucked in his toosh thats what! -
very funny - i really like the idea of N.Korea and Iran just being masturbated instead of fucked totally - although masturbation can be fun and it doesn't have the downside of going the whole hog - well rhymed
-
bravo
don't lose the rhyming, i thought it helped it to flow. politics should be written about carefully, and rhyming helps balance the needed comedy and seriousness. well done.
"In only four years
Made America universally hated."
sad but true. well done. -
Good but needs some work to be great
Great job with this one. I love the tone that is established by the sing song rhyme and rhythm. The whole situation is childish and you do a nice way describing it.
Thanks. -
LOL This is exactly what I was looking for!! BRilliant. Thanks for entering!!
-
I like military erection!
-
It was very well done. I dont think She will take marks off for it. It flows very nicely
-
Oh dear. I can only put forward the argument that it was doggerel rather than pure artistic rhyming. Also one or two were bad rhymes, maybe that will help.
-
I liked the play off the nursery rhyme but I believe it called for no rhyming. THough I do wish you much luck.
