Hilarious Bush co. song/poem had to share
Edited on Fri Aug-18-06 08:45 AM by IndependentVoice
Sorry can't get a link that works all credit to TestTakerX

Those times I tried to stop the war
The public thought I was a bore
And yet Big Brother really cares;
He's always into my affairs.
He hangs intently on every word
He makes me feel like I am heard.
He bugs my house and taps my phones.
When I make love, he hears my moans.
So hooray for the NSA,
Who now has proof that you are gay.
True, you've been profiled, ranked, and scored,
But at least you know you're not ignored.
While some oppose domestic spying,
I think its proof big brothers trying.

1. Slight Misquote and full attribution
Edited on Sun Jan-28-07 09:32 AM by szettner
I wrote this poem, so I'd like to correct a slight misquote and provide the proper attribution for it. The poem is called "Big Brother" and is by Sheryl Zettner, and here's the way it was originally written:

Big Brother ©2006 by Sheryl Zettner

Those times I tried to stop the war
The public thought I was a bore.
And yet Big Brother really cares;
He's always into my affairs.
He hangs intently on each word
And makes me feel like I've been heard.
He bugs my house and taps my phones.
When I make love, he hears my moans.
And so, hooray for the NSA,
Who now has proof if you are gay.
True, you’ve been profiled, ranked, and scored,
But at least you know you're not ignored.
While some oppose domestic spying,
I think it shows Big Brother's trying.

Thanks for trying to quote my poem though.
