(no subject)

Point of order: I only do memes when I've seen them more than five times, or if they promise to amuse.

Hence, from apiphile, but spotted elsewhere, the shameless hussy of a meme, the poetry meme.

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

Look What's Coming Up The Street

And now, a message from the President of the United States, George W. Bush.
Maybe I can help you
In your white lace and your wedding bells
You dance like you're drunk but you sing like you're sober
Why don't you shut the door
Fool enough to almost be it
Why am I so good at being a fool

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
The scales of justice
Call you up in the middle of the night
When Death is too busy

If God moves across the water
How many times
Johnny dear, don't be afraid
We tried assassinations, it's still the same

I keep you down inside my heart
In one moment, I'm going all the way
Staring at my picture book
Well they encourage your complete cooperation
Across the border they turn water into wine

( so you don't think I listen to streaming speeches by our Lame Duck In Chief )

...right. I think that's got it all, really: politics, insecurity, war, death, religion, more politics, romance, medicine, alcohol, foreign relations. Really, is there anything else?
