Barack Obama

Our 44th president, Barach Obama,
was born to a black man and a white mama.
He was a “dark horse” in the race when he left the gate,
but with "know-how" and hope, crossed that finish line - the champion of 2008!

For PD's  BATTLE of the CLERIHEW # 2

Maureen Lefanue Date: 2/1/2012 4:39:00 PM Andrea, Just a thought.....my 91 year old mother had a lung tumor and used Graviola Max [she had to get it from Raintree in the US as it's not sold here] and hasn't had any return of the cancer since she was given the 'all clear'. Will keep him in my prayers. Love, Maureen x Login to Reply

Judy Ball Date: 1/24/2012 1:18:00 AM A good one Andrea. Let's hope he doesn't win the next one or the whole country will crash with a whimper. Every time he runs out of money he either borrows from our enemies or prints more. What's up with that!! As for the poem "Because Of You", I was asked for a valentine poem. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked it. God Bless, JB Login to Reply

Dalila Agtani Date: 1/18/2012 4:23:00 PM Excellent, what is it again? I better read this "clerihew" ! Where do I get good humor?? You always come up with a clever one. Snowing heavily in Seattle 6-15". I have to drive 5mile/hr in the back roads frustrating perhaps the guy behind me with snow tires. Miss ya! Dalila Login to Reply

Matthew Anish Date: 1/18/2012 7:38:00 AM I guess you are a Democrat - I would still be friends with you if you are not. There are quite a few different views among "Soupers". Maybe I will try to write a clerihew one of these days. Question - do you always use 5 7 5 format when you write haiku? There is alot of disagreement about that.
