There Once Was A President Joe

There once was a President Joe
Who was awful forgetful and slow
To the point he forgot
Who was who and was what
Go Joe! (As in actually go)

The door's over there, Joe. Take care
With the steps, and look there is a chair
And a cushion for you
And a beautiful view
For a nice cup of tea and a stare

Come on Joe, you're so losing the plot
And what's left of the brain cells you've got
When you don't know the name
Of your ally the game
Is over. Go Joe! Off you trot

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
