*********************
I doubt many of you have missed this latest meme to go buzzing round our global network of fun and irreverence. It's a poem made of actual quotes from our illustrious President, compiled by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson to mark National Poetry Month. You've got to admit, malapropism in poetry is a strikingly original proposition; much more lively than the turgid surrealism coming out of the genre today. Perhaps W. (what a great name for a postmodern poet!) should put down the pretzel and pick up the quill?

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where
our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
