VOTE FOR BUSH!

By Grace Courtney, John Courtney and Seth Courtney
(To the tune "Putin' on the Ritz")

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Bush's Avenue
On that famous thorough fare
With new tax cuts everywhere?

High hats and arrow collars,
White spats and lots of dollars,
Gore spending all your dimes
To pay for his agenda lines!

If you're blue and you don't know
Who to vote for
Why vote for Gore?
Just vote for Bush!
George W. Bush!!


 

THE VOTE
(Reminiscent of Poe's "The Raven")
By Adam Courtney

Once upon a debate night dreary, while I pondered my Social Security,
Over a curious volume of political TV lore---
While I nodded, nearly napping, I suddenly hear Gore a -flapping,
"More government spending, taxes galore!
And I think we need gun control-evermore!"
"Only this and maybe more!"

Directly I rolled over remembering it was October,
And each political program wrought its name on the media store.
I eagerly awaited Bush to follow, knowing he could wup the fellow---
He talked about flourishing America--- And for tax cuts forevermore.
He quoted stronger military, more retirement protection, schooling freedom laws in store!
A free nation forevermore!

And the clapping, glad, cheerful cry of each listening person thrilled me-
Filled me with fantastic dreams I never had before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I heard Gore repeating,
"What about the selected middle class? My tax cut might help them more!
What about the future of our kids? The environmental role?"
There's darkness in the future and nothing more!

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the announcer's silence now was broken, and the last words of the debaters spoken.
"I knew what I had to do, this vote is for me, and this vote is for you."

This I pondered, my time was taken, this was my vote it must not be forsaken,
Only BUSH , and never gore!


VOTE FOR BUSH!!!


THE PRESIDENCY

By Seth Courtney

I give you now G.W. Bush

A very smart Governor Bush.

Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles,

And sent him off to distant jungles.

Camped along the ocean shore,

One day he missed his opponent Al Gore.

He had the guide inform him

He died because of his infected toe.

G.W. Bush said, "No,

He was eaten by his own ego."

 

GEORGE BUSH IS PRESIDENT

By Joseph Courtney

(To the Tune "Yankee Doodle")

George Bush came to town

A riding on an airplane,

Stuck his hand on his heart

And pledged to speak true and plain.

George Bush keep it up!

George Bush don't let us down!

Mind the music and your step

And our President will be handy!
