A Poem for George and John

The Democratic Activist
... inspired by "Dick and Jane" books, and by the Inspector General's report confirming what we all knew all along: that George W. Bush, the president of the United States, approved the use of torture and committed war crimes.

Lie, Lie, Lie

Lie, lie, lie

See George lie.

Lie George, lie.

Lie, lie, lie.

Lie some more.

See John run for president.

Run John, run.

See John hug George.

Hug, hug, hug.

See John lie like George.

Lie John, lie.

Lie, lie, lie.

Bomb Iran, John, bomb Iran.

Bomb, bomb Iran.

Watch T.V.

T.V. likes George.

T.V. likes John.

Lie T.V., lie.

Lie, lie. lie.

America likes to sleep.

Sleep America, sleep.

Sleep, sleep, sleep.

Lie, lie, lie.
