Birds of a feather, they'd be perfect together,
   George Bush and Marie Antoinette.
Hated by millions, they loved their cotillions
   and increasing the national debt.
Outspokenly callous with obvious malice,
   "Let them eat cake!", "Bring 'em on!" –
The rabble they served were hardly deterred
   at the prospect of either's Dear John.
"Dead or Alive", each one could contrive
   to generate much animosity,
But as you have seen, a sharp guillotine
   can control fiscal impetuosity.
