I have a friend, a very good friend,
   who thinks Bush won't get shot.
That, though I watch for four more years,
   I will have watched for naught.
Yet I maintain that it could be
   cable TV at its best;
Better than all those reruns of
   Detroit fans vs. Ron Artest.

Of course he might recover
   just like Ronnie Reagan did,
But isn't there at least a chance
   a bullet might affect his id?
He might become an icon,
   like Kennedy and Lincoln.
More likley it will come too late
   to prevent the dollar sinkin'…

But in time for TV ratings
   that could top Pearl Harbor,
Or those if Yale's invited to
   play football at Ann Arbor.
But too late to bring back those
   he's murdered in Iraq,
But hopefully just late enough
   to follow Dick's last heart attack.
