A qualified guy, I wish I had added. Your résumé’s super, even if padded. We wanted the best to lead FEMA’s forces, And who would know more than a man who knows horses? You saw that the storm was more than some showers, And sent off a memo in four or five hours. You found out that life in the Dome was not Super– And only a day after Anderson Cooper. A heckuva job! You know how to lead ’em We hope to award you the Medal of Freedom.
