George W. Bush Suffering from Foot-In-Mouth Disease

"I think it's time ... to allow the president to finish his term, and let him move on and enjoy life and become an active participant in the American system." - W.

Chance the Gardener
for President?
You like to watch.

Participation
so big a word
wing-tip wide.

A mouthful
of shoelaces hung like
rat tails in a snake's
mouth.

R. Strauss set to
funk. You cannot
walk on water
on your lips.

May we
move on from
your inactive,
non-participatory
Presidency,
enjoy life?

We'll even
pre-pardon
you.
