Haiku/Senryu / President Dubya

Freakin great! The emperor wears no clothes. “Assless chaps” LMAO!

Amusing.
Is this describing Bush?
It struck me as him.
He is a cowboy riding the nation.
But it seems like an ass riding a nation.

very political but good.

Now, I love this.
The first pass was lacking something.
Assless Chaps.
hahahahahaha
love the double-entendre.
most politicians have no ass because they ARE asses ;-PPP
I am still laughing!!!!!
Excellent Job.
Interesting how one line can turn the world around!!!!
Thanks for The OLL (out loud laugh)
You got a 10 from me!!!

Thanks! I don’t really hold a grudge, I’m just embarassed by him and would like to see the economy turn around.

I’m not a fan of political poetry, but it has its place.  Usually I shy away from it or criticize it harshly because writers tend to be so heavy handed with it, writing polemic instead of poetry.  That’s not the case here.  Your second line particularly is quite evocative.  It reminds me of that image in Dr. Strangeglove, riding the atom bomb.

I don’t know if I’m being too picky, but the last line/word while expressive seems  disconnected.  I almost want to see a hyphen at the end of line two, some indication that a grammatical switch-up is coming.  Ideally I’d read it as “cowboy riding the nation TO humiliation.”  But that’s a syllabic violation!  

I think calling him a cowboy is generous by the way.  He’d never make it on the range, lol.

Yeah, I thought so too. Haven’t come up with a
better line yet, but for now I’m changing it to “Humiliating”

As always, thanks for the helpful review.

Oh, and I agree with you about the cowboy part.
My horses would buck him in a second.

Although I don’t hate Bush, liked the haiku and understand the reasoning behind it. What about nations?
