W The Poet

First Lady Laura Bush reveals that W “is a great leader and a husband, but I bet you didn’t know he is also quite the poet. Upon returning home last night from my long trip I found a lovely poem waiting there for me.” Here it is:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Oh my, lump in the bed

How I’ve missed you.

Roses are redder

Bluer am I

Seeing you kissed

By that charming French guy.

The dogs and the cats

They missed you too

Barney’s still mad you dropped him

He ate your shoe.

The distance, my dear

Has been such a barrier

Next time you want an adventure

Just land on a carrier.

I wish I was making this up, but even I couldn’t come up with something like this. Now maybe a gifted five-year old could, but that’s another story altogether… :-p
