Walter Mitty-Like Dreams

The US President is everywhere and everything, it seems
    At least he is, in his Walter Mitty-like dreams

  Racing to Ground Zero the very next day
    Just as false as his appointment to the US Naval Academy

  The great man saw the bridge in Pittsburgh collapse
    Since he wasn't there, it must have been on his app 

  Said he was born where his grandpa died in Baltimore
    Though Joe was born in Pennsylvania, if you're keeping score  

  Claimed to be an activist in the civil rights movement in the sixties
    Well, he WAS a lifeguard at a segregated pool down in Dixie

  Bragged that he cut the Federal Deficit by $1.7 trillion
    As it actually increased by $10 trillion, that's almost a zillion!

  And, of course, he taught 'Political Theory' for four years at the U. of Penn
    Just like he was right there with Daniel in the Lions' den...

  I'd like to see old Giapetto create a 'Pinocchio-Joe Biden' puppet
    With a twelve-foot long carrot for a nose to stuff it

I'd feel a little sorry for this totally insecure individual -- except that he honestly thinks he's running for the Presidency again. He should be ridden out of town on a rail is what!!
