The REAL DEAL
52 days till we throw the bum out! It’s coming. On November 6th, the American people will stand up and yell in unison, “You’re fired!” It’s building up steam, like a freight train, it’s coming.
You and everyone else. My computer keeps freezing up. Good morning!
A+++ Soon he will be a bitter memory.
Obama, the great rhetorician
Long-winded, condescending, patrician
With the world up in smoke
This guy is a joke
Might as well put a sign up: “Gone Fishin’”
A+++ LOVE it!
She looked pissed. Good for her! Now that is a fired up base who’s going to take along a lot of independents to the only poll that counts. A+++
Nice. Hope you don’t mind if I riff off your rhyme:
Obama’s a sly rhetorician
His words belie his true mission
America’s demise his penultimate prize,

A+++ Another great one!

These big words are best left to our resident litery scholar, so called since he has been studying liter bottles for years, our very own, Clive Bertrand, Popular Mechanics Archivist and Sanitation Plant Foreman.
Clive: “This is from a famous novel about Scarlett O’Hairy who wore these big dresses in a big house, had a big mouth and a Butler named Rhet that she loved even though he had only one suit and big false teeth.
So ole Scarlett, the Starlett talked alot about Rhet the butler and she was a Rhetorician.
The story was Written by Martha Stewart Mitchell when she wasn't making cakes too ugly to sell and too pricey to eat.”
Thank you Clive, I now know more about The War of Digression.
What the blank could possibly go wrong?
