[Newspoetry] GEORGE W. BUSH, 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF SUSPENSION FROM FLYING STATUS

[Mhubertw at aol.com]

AUGUST MARKS A TRUE MILESTONE IN AMERICAN POLITICAL AND PERSONAL INTEGRITY - 
THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUSPENSION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FROM FLYING STATUS 
IN THE TEXAS AIR NATIONAL GUARD, AND SUBSEQUENT DISAPPEARANCE FROM ACTUAL 
MILITARY SERVICE FOR NEARLY A YEAR!  TODAY NO CREDIBLE EXPLANATION HAS STILL  
BEEN OFFERED AS TO WHY!  SO, AS AN OLD AIR FORCE STAFF SERGEANT, I HAVE 
OFFERED MY OWN EXPLANATION.  PLEASE POST AS WRITTEN AND CREDITED.  I CAN ONLY 
HOPE SSGT. BARRY SADLER IS LOOKING DOWN ON ALL THIS WITH A SLY, PLEASING 
SMILE!  I AM!


BALLAD OF THE YELLOW BERET
BY
SSGT. HUBERT WILSON

FRIGHTENED AIRMAN FROM THE TEXAS SKY,
FEARFUL MAN WHO JUMP TO LIE!
MAN WHO MEANT NOT WHAT HE WOULD SAY!
THIS CRAVEN MAN DESERVED THE DESPISED YELLOW BERET!

PRIVILIGED STATUS THEN TO PROTECT HIS REAR.
THIS MAN HID FOR A YEAR!
THOUSANDS  OF MEN THEN SACRIFICED EACH DAY,
BUT THIS ONE SO DESERVED THE YELLOW BERET!

TRAINED TO LIVE OFF OTHERS' WORK.
TRAINED IN POLITICS WITH THAT SMIRK!
MAN WHO HID BOTH NIGHT AND DAY!
CRAVEN DEEP IS THIS YELLOW BERET!

BACK AT HOME VETERANS AWAITED AN UNKNOWN FATE,
WHILE THIS YELLOW BERET SHOWED UP A YEAR LATE!
THEY HAD SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR A YEAR,
SIMPLY TO PROTECT HIM FROM HIS FEAR!

PRIVILEGED STATUS EVEN NOW TO PROTECT HIS REAR.
THIS MAN STILL HIDES THAT MISSING YEAR!
THOUSANDS OF MEN STILL SACRIFICE EACH DAY,
BUT THIS ONE ALWAYS DESERVES THE YELLOW BERET!

SOMETHING SMELLS ABOUT THIS GUY!
HIS YELLOW COLOR IS THE REASON WHY!
OTHERS STILL DIE TO PROTECT HIS REAR,
EVEN IN THIS VERY YEAR!

IF HE IS AMERICA'S BEST?
WE HAVE ALL FAILED THE TEST!
MAKE TRUE BRAVERY THE AMERICAN WAY,
OTHERWISE, ALL DESERVE THE YELLOW BERET!
