Hurricane George

Vote for Bush and hurricanes,
   tornadoes and torrential rains.
   He's going to great pains to make us warmer.
To hell with that Kyoto treaty.
   We should have our own Tahiti.
   He'll make Montana warmer than the former.

Not only will most snow and Ice
   melt, which for most is very nice
   including highways on a low salt diet.
But will you still want your beer cold?
   Will Coors Warm Beer be what gets sold?
   If so, what makes them think someone will try it?

Of course there'll be more side effects:
   much more rain and more rain checks.
   With tax refunds you'll want to buy a boat.
And hurricanes love warmer waters,
   so be sure to teach your daughters
   and your sons not only how to swim but also float.

Low lying islands all will vanish,
   so please to brush up on your Spanish.
   New immigrants will want to chew the fat.
Manhattan's famous isle of joy
   won't hear horns, just "Ship Ahoy."
   Canal Street in New York will be just that.

By burning much more dirty coal,
   Bush says we can reach our goal
   of no longer needing foreign oil.
Our winters will be so darn hot –
   our fuel suppliers so distraught –
   But disagreeing, Cheney says, would be disloyal.
