Make a Mistake

President Bush praying for a way out of Iraq, with Vice President Cheney looking on (perhaps pissed because he is wearing the same tie as Bush)

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, Bush's man,
Make me a democracy, as fast as you can;
Pat it, prick it, and mark it with G,
Put it there in Iraq, and make it be free.


William's Whimsical Words:

and secular, and representative.
