Alright, let's put this one in the time capsule, folks:
"President Bush is a great leader and a husband, but I bet you didn't know he is also quite the poet," she said. "Upon returning home last night from my long trip I found a lovely poem waiting there for me."As her husband watched quietly, she recited it.
"Roses are red
Violets are blue
Oh my, lump in the bed
How I've missed you."Bush sometimes refers to his wife as a lump in the bed.
Mrs. Bush went on:
"Roses are redder
Bluer am I
Seeing you kissed by that charming French guy."And then the finale:
"The dogs and the cat, they missed you too
Barney's still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe
The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier
Next time you want an adventure, just land on a carrier."Barney the dog had a tumble when Mrs. Bush was handing him to her husband on a tarmac.
James H. Billington, the librarian of Congress, called Mrs. Bush "first reader of our land" for her work on behalf of literacy and reading....
It would appear this is something that her George has struggled with for years.
