Poetry for the Masses

It has been widely circulated elsewhere, but no home or office in America would be complete without a nicely framed copy of this poem. To write your own, using the most updated material, borrow from the list posted at http://slate.msn.com/id/76886/ and then post a comment here. But in the interest of preserving history and as a public service to all, enjoy the original:

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked,
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
