Seeing a bumper sticker
saying
“Don’t blame me.
I voted for Bush.”
and thinking that
I spent part
of Election day
licking bush
so I guess
that means that
it’s all my fault
although
I don’t know
Exactly what’s wrong
I’m not sure
what this guy
doesn’t want
to be blamed for
but since I licked Bush
instead
of voting for Bush
I guess I am
to blame
so if you’re
so shallow
as to think
it would make
a difference
then go right ahead
heap blame
heap all your hate
onto my shoulders
I can take it
and ultimately
risk of oral cancer aside
that probably
makes me better
than the guy
with that bumper sticker
any day of the year.
