Madam President's News Briefing

Madam President’s News Briefing By Elton Camp The outcome of the election wasn’t expected It was over and it was she who’d been elected As soon as Madam Prez’s term in office did begin It was a team of competent advisors she brought in One was about foreign relations and related stuff In case seeing Russia from her yard wasn’t enough Another was an expert American history advisor About the past events of the nation she’d be wiser Another’s duty was to tell her how jobs to create Since she’d learned quitting one wasn’t that great Then on current events she was brought up to date By an aide who told her what had happened of late Finally he got to the last news item of that day The following is the report he had to convey “Today, two Brazilian soldiers were savagely killed It was a terrorist group that their blood has spilled.” A look of horror came onto the President’s face “Why that is shocking, atrocious and a disgrace.” The aide looked with surprise at so much dismay She asked, “How many is a gazillion, by the way?”
