The Ear Brag
Remembering Dr. Seuss's story
"The Big Brag"
(The rabbit felt mighty important that day)

Bushie, we fear, though born to be king,
Was doing his usual pachyderm thing
By touting the blessings of extra large ears
To dazzled Banana Republican peers,
Yet "staying the course" as he had for four years.

Normal list'ning? Of course not! Big ears are so that
A peabrain's not lost in a ten-gallon hat.
Nevertheless Bushie has promised them much:
Like local elections and a chance to go Dutch
On the next war he starts, thank you ever so much.

So what's Bushie's secret? His one-click i-Pod
With his elephant ears is connected to God!
Rudy, the Rabbit, claims his ears will do fine,
But two rabbit ears for a four-party line?
Two exes? One current? Not an auspicious sign!

Cheney, the Cherub, has ears like a pig,
So he hears very little though he likes to talk big.
So he seldom relays any edicts from God
Which The Washington Post would expose as a fraud
While The New York Times editors still hemmed and hawed.

But though Bushie is blessed with phenomenal ears,
He pays no attention to warnings he hears.
He assumes that success is still in the cards
And brushes off God when He sends His regards.
God hates to see playing by ear by retards…
