Good King Georgie

A Poem by STurner
"

Thank you, no thank YOU, Mr. <cough> President

"

 

Good King Georgie

 

When Georgie became king of late

He’s done great things

We will long appreciate

 

First, he buys the president’s chair

With 30 pieces of eight

Then he spoke to us all

In his state of union address

 

Clean environment, he says

Streams turned to silt and salmon killed

Attempted to turn the northwest into a parking lot

 

Clean energy, he says

More motorcars to make greenhouse gases

Turns the Earth into a stinking cesspool

 

More gas, he says

And speaking of gas,

Pardon me, but I’ve lost count

How many dead troops to the gallon?

 

Freedom, he says

Turned our Republic into a police state

 

Give them democracy, he says

And razes Baghdad to the ground

 

Leave no child behind, he says

Let them be like me, he chuckles

Selfish little cheats as dumb as rocks

 

Liberty and Justice for all, he says

But read the small print

Ethnic or different or suspect

Need not apply

 

Well, I have to end for now

I’ve surely got to run

Homeland Security’s banging at my door

Wielding a can of mace and a very big gun

 

But first, let’s remember

Georgie became the king of late

He’d done great things

We will long appreciate
