The Leader

A poem in a school textbook has been removed by embarrassed education officials in Pakistan after it was found that the first letters of each line spelt out "President George W Bush."

Reported by UK Telegraph.

I'm still waiting for France to create a version for President-in-exile John F Kerry.

QUICK! Boot up The Photoshop Kato!!!!

The Pretender

Pompus and limp with the handshake like a fish
Ready always to deny,defer and delay
Enjoys the credit, denies the blame
Strong in whatever "faith tradition" you might have at the time
Isnt afraid propose a great idea - even if its yours.
Doesnt hold one shape for more than a week
Eyes that dart from side to side
Never shuts up and never,ever,ever gives credit to others
Tells us what you just said and then takes credit for having been the first to say it
Jaundiced in the skin and in the disposition
Open to others as long as they are givin' ( cash that is..)
Hoping to win but playing to lose
Never "the one", but always the pretender
For what its worth, he was never a contender
Kicking and screaming that night in the indiginty of losing to "that man" GWB
Even from "the compound", the fireworks could be seen
Run he did and Run he lost
Run against Howard, Run against Joe, Run against them all he did, but it was to no matter
Yes, said one and all who thanked God - he lost.

...and thanks to the internet, there will be 6 million other versions of this by the time I get up in the morning.
