fuzzy - re the bush girls ....
Good girls don't ask the reason why,
But pose and smile while others die.


To the Bush Girls
By JOHN ALLEMANG
Saturday, July 17, 2004 - Page F2

It's time to cast off childish things --
The tapped-out kegs, the late-night flings,
The rap sheets gleaned from one-horse towns --
And put on de la Renta gowns
That make the world a proper stage
For Texas twins who've come of age.

Where once your photos graced the tabs
(All glassy-eyed and flabby abs),
Your glamour shots from this month's Vogue
Reveal a state that's far from rogue:
Instead of winding up in jail,
You're Page 1 in The Globe and Mail.

You've traded in your fake IDs
For selfless, save-the-world CVs,
And left behind your low-life haunts
To serve as campaign debutantes --
Who knew your zeal to help your Dad
Could make the Olsen twins look bad?

If strapless gowns and made-up eyes
Are what it takes to humanize
A man who sends kids off to fight,
Then you two have turned out just right:
Good girls don't ask the reason why,
But pose and smile while others die.
