My fellow Americans,

It has come to my attention that there is a dangerous and shadowy group stalking our nation's bandwidth. This group calls itself 10en20, it is small but growing, and its weapon of choice is Poetry.

Now I've been known to appreciate a good poem now and again,
like Casey at the Bat, say, which is about baseball, and rhymes, and is overall a gosh darn good American poem, except for maybe that part at the end where he strikes out, but I'm going to look into having that changed.

But these 10en20 people don't write that kind of poem. Oh no. They write poems with such titles as The Rumi House. Sounds innocent enough doesn't it? Except notice that it's not Roomy house, as in a house with lots of room to put your feet up when you get home at the end of the day; the kind of place made affordable by my generous tax cuts? No. It's Rumi House. And do you care to guess where this Rumi fella comes from? Well I'll tell you. Afghanistan!
Know what they call a Roomy house in Afghanistan? A cave!



The leader of these 10en20 folks is a woman by the name of Lunaboca. She's a clever woman, this Lunaboca, and when she gets ahold of words they're as deadly as boxcutters! And her arsenal is growing. We have proof that she has used limericks on her own people, and even . . . Sonnets!

Well, I say bring it on!

The clock starts ticking now. Lunaboca has 48 hours to step down.
No wait, I mean now! The clock starts ticking now. If you started it the first time I said that, please rewind it about 3 minutes, unless of course you're a faster reader than me, in which case please rewind it back however long it took you to read between the first time I said it and the second. Ok, all set? I hear it. Tick tock.
Hear that Lunaboca? I wonder what kind name that is . . . Lunaboca?

Yours Truly,

George W. Bush
