The AP yesterday released a videotape,
Disallowing Chertoff and Bush to escape...

...the castigation deserved for the Katrina disaster,
For being forewarned but not acting faster.

NOLA Mayor Nagin said of the tape, he was "shocked",
Where was Bush when the Bayou was rocked?

Well, the August 28 conference showed many officials warn,
Of things such as 'levee failure' from the Hurricane's scorn.

But Bush sat silent at the briefing 'fore Katrina struck,
Perhaps he was considering how to best pass the buck.

Nevertheless, before disaster hit, Bush assured us,
'we're fully prepared' - into oblivion he lured us.

Since Bush Ignores warnings of all that matters,
New Orleans was left alone and in tatters.

So further evidence this is of an administration aloof
Led by a smirking, self-righteous, goof.
