Delusional
A woman quite delusional
Believes, beyond the pale,
Obama and her dad were friends
And yes, she went to Yale.
Her son’s employed at Apple
Though he’s only twelve years old
And she’s so convincing when she talks,
Some listeners are sold.
She’s flying to D.C. today
For meetings to attend
As a video consultant;
Oh, the stories never end.
Though looking normal, it is clear
Her mind is not quite right
And if any would dare challenge her,
She’s ready for a fight.
Delusions keep some going,
Though I’ll never understand
How they reach the point reality’s
So far from their command.
