Geoffrey Brewer Poet Lyric

Oh Obama

Oooooh! Obama! Hear the praise of media as it sings
Though we thought you’d gone
You’ve lingered on
In the Swamp still pulling on the strings

Oooooh! Obama You were blest with politics your game
Your success complete 
It sure smells sweet
And the wealth comes right behind the fame

Oooooh! Obama every night you sit and count your dough
No more income sparse
You scratch your head (sic)
Planning to make more and make it grow

You say to race prejudice: Fye!
But without it would you reach so high

And when we saaaaaaaay!
You’re woke in every waaaay!
It surely means that you’re doing well now Obama
B Obama,  Okay B O B A M A
Go Obama!

[To be sung to the tune of OKLAHOMA! From the musical: OKLAHOMA!]

Joe Maverick June 20, 2022 at 12:20 AM What a crock filler Obama was and is' I'll never forget his (promise to dig the U S Out of its figurative hole) someone find me A ladder..' Or should that be leader.?

Gershon Wolf March 27, 2022 at 8:22 PM I don't know if the right word for B.O. is 'execrable' or 'despicable' -- or whether Joe Biden's already latched on to both of those in his first 14 months in office. (Seems like forever, doesn't it?!). :) gw Geoffrey Brewer March 28, 2022 at 6:39 PM Let us hope that many a new dawn will come.Thanks, Gershon.

Andrea Dietrich March 25, 2022 at 1:10 PM I'm with Joe. I once liked him till my eyes were opened. Anyway, you did awesome using Oklahoma on him! Geoffrey Brewer March 28, 2022 at 6:37 PM Wisdom allows a change of mind. Thanks for your comments, Andrea.

Suzanne Delaney March 25, 2022 at 12:52 PM Love it…….his money’s as high as an elephant’s eye.,,,,,and the wind comes sweeping down the plain. Cheers, SuZ Geoffrey Brewer March 28, 2022 at 6:39 PM Everything going his way! He can’t say:No! If only we could start all over again. Thanks for the response, Suzanne.

Joseph P. DiMino March 25, 2022 at 5:57 AM Can't get rid of him. As long as he can be manipulated by Insiders -- in other words, will flow with in any personally enriching stream, regardless of direction...he is a candidate. Funny, he has wealth, fame, yet seems so small to many of us unnamed. There isn't enough money in the world that would made me desire to change places. Geoffrey Brewer March 25, 2022 at 6:40 AM Thanks for your perceptive observations - more serious than my rhyming diversions. I am always grateful for your feedback, Joe
