MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

by George W. Bush Jr.

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!
