Nero and Bush
Nero fiddled while Rome burned
A legacy not universally admired
That he fiddled as he callously Rome spurned
Was not what good Romans required
The instrument Nero played was not the violin, but the lyre
Which brings us to Bush, our Presidential liar
No WMDs were found in Iraq
He lied about them, and that's a sad fact
George Bush, our up-to-date Nero
Non-musical and so out of tune
With New Orleans flood, he was one big zero
Who instrumentally brought Orleans to ruin
George Bush is far from profound
Yet he managed to fiddle us all around
He didn't play a violin or even a pian-a
While Katrina blew out Louisiana
Nero and Bush will be similarly recalled
As two so call leaders who appalled
The citizenry of their respective nations
Deserving in time, histories condemnation
