The recent controversy over President Obama swatting a fly, live on television prompted me to write this poem. I hope it assuages the anger of the animal rights lobby when then hear the true story.
Obama Drama
I know an old president who swatted a fly
Why oh why did he swat a fly?
He swatted the fly to catch the news
To incite views from people who choose
To value a fly.......... so amazingly high.
Perhaps it’ll die.
I know an old president who swatted a fly
Why oh why did he swat a fly?
He swatted the fly to see his men try
To rush onto the set and call for a vet
Who tried CPR........ in the back of a car.
Perhaps it’ll die.
I know an old president who swatted a fly
Why oh why did he swat a fly?
He swatted the fly to check the health care
That should be available everywhere
When they got to ward the Doc held up a board
Does the fly have cover? .....No? well I’m sorry brother.
Perhaps it’ll die.
I know an old president who swatted a fly
Why oh why did he swat a fly?
He swatted they fly to show to the world
That the weakest among us are treated like fungus
And though you are dying the docs will stop trying
Because you can’t pay...... that’s just tough they say.
Perhaps it’ll die.
Addendum.
Now the flies on a drip with his legs in plaster
The finest of surgeons attend the disaster
His family flew in looking decidedly grim
But he’s getting the vetting that was due to him
Now the only reason he got such attention
Was the presidents call..... in which he did mention.
Perhaps I’ll pay, it's the only way.
(No flies were harmed in the writing of this poem)
