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?”
