W

Roaring across Alabama

On I10, that great southern

Freeway, are the Escalades

And Hummers, the Suburbans,

Expeditions, Aviators and Navigators

All with one purpose

And a simple decal proclaiming

W, the President.

I have to admit here, I’d

Like to take a baseball

Bat to those tinted

Back windows

But then I realize

The W stands for Worst

And suddenly Alabama

Never looked so good.
