On the Lighter Side with Limis Ward

Obama Doggerel

(the King isn't worth trying to write real poetry)

 

Obama – The Destroyer

Pelosi, Steny Hoyer

Why can't you leave us alone?

 

Slap taxes on the rich

Then laugh while they bitch

While you all live high on the hog.

 

Private Air Force jets

Extravagant fetes

Just Kobe beef will do

 

As the rock bands play

You dance o so gay

While millions are losing their homes

 

When the guests go away

And the bills come for pay

How do the ledgers look?

 

The expenditures grow

But the revenues slow

Who's going to pay for this crap?

 

Send Clinton on a jet

With the Chinese she met

To beg them to lend us more dough

 

Mandarin digits wag

At that miserable hag

And demand guarantees for our debt.

 

If this was the extent

Of their ruinous bent

We might yet survive hope and change

 

But that's not all

From this horrid cabal

That Obama intends to unleash

 

Cap and trade to go green

Fossil fuels must be weaned

Fill landfills with your SUVs

 

Profits must go

A new day, you know

Capitalists beaten at last!

 

Nationalize this

A socialist bliss

Government ownerships' best

 

Banking, insurance

Oey! We've got tsores!

Which industry's next to fall?

 

How about health care

To this they will swear

Free health care for all evermore

 

Of course it's not free

Who pays?  You and me

For our troubles we'll wait in long lines

 

There's more I could say

And go on for all day

But Obama's not worth all this effort

 

I'll sit back and laugh

At his fuzzy math

And pray that someday this all ends

 

We'll pick up the pieces

And laugh at his speeches

That once drove lemmings off the cliff
