"I'm Sorry," by Oily Joe Barton

Edited on Fri Jun-18-10 11:07 AM by skip fox

I'm sorry I am I,
And sorry you are you.
I'm sorry for the birds,
Flapping in the blue.

I'm sorry for happiness
And health and unicorns,
And every Democrat with
The presumption to be born.

I'm sorry for ideas and joy
And progressives in alliance.
For our so-called president,
And the objectivity of science,

(additions???)

1. Very nice.

It needs a Swamp Rat illustration, something green and oily at the same time.

Where is Swampy? I hate it that his part of the country is getting damaged again.

7. I am so angry and hurt for you, for the animals, the birds, the

sea creatures.

There is nothing I can do. Nothing. I am sorry.

"I'm Sorry," by Oily Joe Barton

I'm sorry I am I,
And sorry you are you.
I'm sorry for the birds,
Flapping in the blue.

I'm sorry for happiness
And health and unicorns,
And every Democrat
With a presumption to be born.

I'm sorry for Happy Endings
And rainbows in storybooks.
I'm sorry for dimples and bows
Framing dewy looks,

And bows and curls on wee ones,
And mewing little creatures,
I'm sorry for the dirty looks
On all my fellows' features.

I'm sorry for ideas and joy
And forces in defiance,
I'm sorry for your loss of profits,
And the objectivity of science.

If there's anything I can do,
Apologizes that come to mind,
Let me know them true. For there
Is nothing so sweet as your behind!

4. The oily turd had TEARS in his eyes.

The guy was crying, he was so upset that Obama would have the temerity to ask BP to pay (a teeny, tiny part) of cleaning up their mess. Perhaps I'd cry too if one of my biggest campaign contributors was in a position where they might not have enough money left over to provide me with a sinecure upon my "retirement" into the private sector.

EDIT: Outstanding job on the poem, Skipper. The beautiful "behind" part is so apropos.
