Psalm for Freepers
Bush is my shepherd
I dwell in want
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war, I will find no exit for thou art in office.

Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me.

Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the pretense of thy religion.

Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.
Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of thy term,

And my jobless children shall dwell in my basement forever.


:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

1. St. Bubba protect us.
Hail Bubba, defender of peace.
Blessed art thou amongst executives
and blessed is the prosperity of thy reign.

Holy Bubba, signer of Kyoto,
pray for the Earth,
now and during the melting of the poles.

Amen.

2. So derivative.
"The pilot psalm"

The Lord is my Pilot; I shall not drift.
He lighteth me across the dark waters:
He steereth me in deep channels.
He keepeth my log:
He guideth me by the star of holiness
For his names sake.
Yea though I sail mid the thunder
and tempest of life,
I will dread no danger for Thou art near me:
Thy love and Thy care they shelter me.
Thou preparest a harbour before me
in the homeland of eternity.
Thou anointest the waves
with oil my ship rideth calmly.
Surely sunlight and starlight
shall favour me on the voyage I take:
amd I will rest in the port of my God
for ever.

Capt.John H.Roberts - 1874
