"NO all volunteer army!" we hear Bush proclaim.
   No applause, and he changes his mind.
The world's fastest flip-flopper does it again
   when he senses he's falling behind.

And to no one's surprise, he does not analyze,
   or give 'yes' or 'no' all that much thought.
Circumspection is not something he cares a lot about;
   nor if you get drafted, or not…

To him all that matters, though the world is in tatters,
   a result of his dubious instinct,
Is how many votes he lost when his sour notes
   tipped off voters they're being hoodwinked.
