How Delusional To Cling
To be sung to the carol
"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

How delusional to cling
   to the notion he's a king.
Regal birth and smirky smile?
   Just the latter, for a while.
His United Nations tries
   went nowhere; they, too, were lies.
And that vict'ry he'd proclaim?
   Premature and down the drain.
What will Bushie's New Year bring?
   More reminders he's no king.

Once the highest in The Guard;
   too lost for a St. Bernard.
Late to kick Auld Demon Rum;
   bought religion and then some.
Veiled intentions Rove could see –
   dumb unholy trinity –
Cheney, Rummy, who attest
   he whose strings they pull's the best,
Yet Bush New Years quickly bring
   more reminders he's no king.

Childish dreams of glory lie
   with the premise more must die
To achieve his quest for oil
   ere the rest see native soil.
Rise to vote the dummies out;
   vote against more king-like clout.
Stay all plans to stay the course
   of that rear end of a horse
Lest all Bushie New Years bring
   more reminders he's no king.
