One Would Have Thought Poem by Francis Duggan

One would have thought that George W Bush would forget about Iran
But then again who knows with him he is a silly man
He is the one who declares wars but in his wars he never fight
And despite thousands dying on account of him he does sleep well at night.

One would have thought that George W Bush would have learned his lesson in Iraq
But 'twould not surprise if on Iran he ordered an attack
Just one more war leader who does not fight and for peace does not have the will
How come in free elections voters often elect a dill?

One would have thought that George W Bush would have come to understand
That respect is something that you earn and not what you command
When the masses wave their National flags and patriotic songs they sing
Such misplaced patriotism can be such a dangerous thing.

There will be peace in some future time for wars won't always last
And one would have thought that George W Bush would have learned from the past
But there's no fool like an old fool a wise one once did say
And George W will not grow wiser he will just grow old and gray.
