A noticeable limp, an occasional quack,
As Bush starts to wonder why he wanted back.

Nonsensenbrenner's ignoring his plea
For illegal help for the AARP,
Which needs illegal drivers whose eyesight is better
For members unable to make-out the top letter.

The political capital he thought he'd won
Disappeared in an instant; he's back to square one.
The federal deficit's irrevocably his,
And according to Greenspan we're losing our fizz.

His earlier tax cuts must now be rescinded.
His religious right complains he's longwinded.
Rove's out of ideas for solving Iraq.
No wonder he's limping and perfecting his quack.
