The President Wakes Up Laughing

The President Wakes Up Laughing

By Elton Camp

The president has been sleeping sound of late
Because of results that he had to view as great

Last night he suddenly awoke with delight
From a dream that was funny, not of fright

The GOP had decided its image to remake
And so a more fitting symbol it would take

The elephant had served them many a year
But another would make their position clear

He dreamed they considered a hawk & snake
But one different they finally decided to take

They said, “This will show our principles well
As all who see it will instantly be able to tell”

The president’s face into a grin did expand 
He beheld the visage of a Neanderthal man
