There Once Was A President From Nantucket

By Mitch Berg

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

The President was in Saint Paul last week. Did Saint Paul Poet Laureate Carol Connolly memorialize the occasion with an epic poem? Why didn’t I hear about it?

Ms. Connolly was unable to write the poem; she is apparently non-union.

I’m going to cross the artistic picket line:

“The President rode on the train,
Debarked, and made for his plane.
As he left on his trip,
the train it did flip,
As if it were financed by Bain.

I live to serve.

    Then, during a showdown with a super power, he jets on down to Key West for a golf weekend, for yet another expensive vacation paid for by the unwashed masses.

    Yoss? We are all waiting with baited breath here. You have never disappointed us before.

    There once was a witticist named Yossarian,
    whose limericks were almost contrarian.
    “Obama’s the MAN!
    Can we fix it? Yes we CAN!
    Next stop for the economy: agrarian”

    (a pale imitation of Yoss, indeed.)
