Bush learned more from Reagan than we knew.
Monkeyshines? Both guilty of a few.
But we soon forget –
Like bankruptcy cancels a bad debt.

Iraq-Al Qaeda ties were Bush's lies.
Reagan's Iran-Contra was no prize.
But we soon rebound –
When the culprit's six feet under ground.

Accolades for Reagan now are many.
Accolades for Bush? Well hardly any.
Instead of Reagan he should watch the monkey.
He might do well as Cheney's flunky.

Bedtime for Bonzo has a lovely ring.
Bedtime for Bush? Well almost the same thing.
But know what we'll find?
No one else is willing to rewind.
