Dubya wrote Laura a poem for her return from a trip overseas to Europe.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Oh my, lump in the bed
How I've missed you
Roses are redder
Bluer am I
Seeing you kissed by that charming French guy
The dogs and the cat, they missed you too
Barney's still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe
The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier
Next time you want an adventure, just land on a carrier

This was on CNN.com, and the First Lady read it herself at a book event of some sort.

his finger's on the button/his favorite dish is mutton

And this was the "French guy"....President Chirac greeting Mrs. Bush.

"the button" = the clitoris, right?

This reminds me of the annoying ditty-singing couple from 'Best In Show'. Only scarier, much scarier. Please someone tell me Barney is the First Dog and not her jilted ex!

barney's probably just the live-in swedish male au-pair

The First Lady clearly has Lego-person hair.

or possibly playmobile.

Karl Rove: George, we're going with 'charming' for Chirac, though Dick was against it. And we've decided it's pretty important to get the pet chuckle element in, like at the end of a news bulletin. So we've put in 'Barney's still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe'. Sure it's a lie, but unverifiable. The references to Osama and Saddam have gone, and we cut the bit where you promise to stay off the pretzels. It was funny, George, but not that funny. Get back to me on these, but there's no rush, it's already gone out to the media.

momus are you seriously criticizing bush for using dramatic license in his poem?! you do reailze that you yourself are not actually a victorian gay robot clone of voltaire or whatever the fuck all your songs are about, right?

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 4 October 2003 12:33 (twenty-three years ago)

wow, is that what all his songs are about? i will have to buy some! that sounds great. all this time i thought his songs were some sort of eyeless in gaza/magnetic fields/sex dwarf kinda thing.

― scott seward, Saturday, 4 October 2003 12:43 (twenty-three years ago)

well at least thats what i assume it is about

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 4 October 2003 13:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn right I ate her shoe. Bitch dropped me cold.

Actually I have no problem believing Laura Bush would date Don Knotts.

"Barney's still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe"

I like this line!

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 4 October 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

haha - it's like a line from the kid's version of "the takeover"!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 4 October 2003 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

three months pass...

He didn't really write it!

Oh darn - I was hoping that he & Saddam could have a poetry slam.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Monday, 5 January 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Kerry, now that Saddam is down for the next century, Osama's available for poetry slams or birthday parties

And then again...
