Bushism Haiku

This is a short poem made up entirely of actual quotations from George
W. Bush. These have been arranged, only for aesthetic purposes, by
Washington Post writer, Richard Thompson. A wonderful Haiku poem like
this is too good not to share:


MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

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!

A haiku is three lines, with the first line being five syllables, the second being seven, and the third (and last) being five.

Yes, you are correct about the structure of a true haiku. It just cracked me up in spite of its misnomer, and I had to share it here...

Pax.

Here's a coloring book made entirely out of bushisms. I think he has really contributed to our culture:
