Bush's Gourd, as in being out of your gourd

From the Merriam-Webster online dictionary:
Main Entry: gourd
Function: noun
2: the fruit of a gourd : any of various hard-rinded inedible fruits of plants of two genera often used for ornament or for vessels and utensils
out of one's gourd also off one's gourd : CRAZY

BUSH'S GOURD

(To be sung to the music of the title song of "Camelot."
Music by Frederick Loewe. Original lyrics by Alan J. Lerner)

A plan was made a distant time ago here
Congress and the Courts should be ignored
And there’s a certain limit to the laws here
In Bush’s gourd

There’s always time for bicycling and training
But not for reading memos to get bored
And not much time to listen to complaining
In Bush’s gourd.

Bush’s gourd! Bush’s gourd!
I know it sounds a bit far out
But in Bush’s gourd, Bush’s gourd
There's never any doubt.

Al-Qaeda and Saddam did 9/11.
Democracy is thriving in Iraq
Here no news is untoward
And no ones’ ox is gored
So join in on the fantasy that’s here
In Bush’s gourd

There’s always time for bicycling and training
But not for reading memos to get bored
And not much time to listen to complaining
In Bush’s gourd.

Bush’s gourd! Bush’s gourd!
I know, it’s pretty hard to take
But in Bush’s gourd, Bush’s gourd
There’s never a mistake

Weapons of Mass Destruction were all hidden
The recent surge is working in Iraq.
Here no news is untoward
And no ones’ ox is gored
So join in on the fantasy that’s here
In Bush’s gourd.
************

Here are the original lyrics.

A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot

The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order summer lingers through September
In Camelot

Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are

The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot

The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order summer lingers through September
In Camelot

Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.

The snow may never slush upon the hillside
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Hey there! I've been reading your weblog for some time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Austin Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the fantastic work! [url=http://www.nastrificiodebernardi.com/images/maillot-de-football-pas-cher.html]maillot de football pas cher[/url] I really love your blog.. Great colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself? Please reply back as I'm attempting to create my own personal site and want to learn where you got this from or just what the theme is called. Kudos!

It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
