Lord Bushie's back to drinking
   and is so full of ideas,
He's mandated a breakfast of grits and
   at least a dozen sangrias,
Especially when confronting a press
   troublingly too perspicacious.
That calls for a drinker's mendacity
   and willingness to be pugnacious.

He is especially obsessed with
   plans for no SATs.
"Why should tests be determining
   who gets to score TDs?"
Instead of liberal arts schools
   fielding most football teams,
Bush believes mega-churches should
   sponsor all Rove Bowl dreams.

"Recruits would only be required
   to repeat those platitudes.
That hockey needs to heed instead
   of measuring aptitudes.
Maybe that's why he's back to drinking
   and is so full of ideas,
And has mandated a breakfast of grits
   and a dozen or more sangrias,

He'd also let Leviticus dictate
   "who will play and who'll not,
And who will throw the most Hail Marys
   knowing they're gonna get caught.
And won't their constant genuflecting
   generate much firmer abs?
Cheney grumbles he's sure that will help
   when balls are up for grabs.

"Think how much more money they'll make
   by not just saving souls,
More than all those liberal arts schools
   get when their kids score goals.
But then my coop-de-grace will come,
   when from my lofty perch,
I wipe out my deficits by
   taxing each lucrative church."
