Misfit

Although below average
And beyond the pale,
He graduated Yale,
Due to family influence
He did not fail,
Dodged the draft
In the Guard Reserve,
For to fight in Viet Nam
He lacked the nerve,
When his oil business
Went down the drain,
Insider trading
Gave him a gain,
Then he obtained the
Governor's position
By smearing
The opposition,
Was by the majority
As president rejected,
But a wayward Court
Got him elected,
And now, not for
Country or soil
But for profits and oil,
He started the war with Iraq,
Where daily our kids die,
No reason why,
It's time to give him the sack.
