WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush has
immortalized one of the key moments of his presidency in a love
poem to his wife, the first lady revealed on Friday.
Laura Bush told a gathering at the U.S. Library of Congress
marking a weekend celebration of books in the nation's capital
that her husband had written the poem while she was away in
Russia this week and had presented it to her on her return on
Thursday.
"Dear Laura," the poem began, "Roses are red, violets are
blue, oh my lump in the bed, I miss you.
"The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier, next time
you want an adventure, just land on a carrier."
The president, wearing a flight suit labelled
"commander-in-chief", flew to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham
Lincoln in a Navy jet on May 1 to make his declaration that
major combat in Iraq was over.
Since then, more than 80 U.S. soldiers have been killed in
combat in Iraq.
