O-Bam-A Question Or Two For You?

O- bam-a lot of people are unemployed. How can you destroy this annoying factoid? O- bam-a country is still at war. Does this help any of the millions who are poor? O-bam-a time to give everyone money. Why can’t a hardworking man give a gift to his honey? O-bam-a dispute with a cop. Will you have a beer with me if I flop onto a chopping block? O-bam-a change in health care is a buzzing bee. What price will it ultimately be? O-bam-a shot to stop the swine. Is there enough to halt progress to yours or mine? O-bam-a partie's glimmering success. Does it eliminate this countries enduring distress? Richard J. Long, November 2009

Questions worth asking. This is a timely poem as many are struggling yet the government keeps on spending. Aren't they supposed to be working for us? I see you recently joined Poetry Soup. Welcome! I hope you are enjoying your time spent with us. Best wishes with your writing. Karen
