ok...a bit of scathing satire


Poem Artwork

 

It was alot of hot air that kept Hillary's 'Snoopy' float aloft
(ala Charlie Brown) 
which sprung a huge leak
under fabricated sniper fire,
and too much negative ballast,
making her look like
a melting character out of Grimm's Fairy tales
who sued Priscilla Presley's plastic surgeon
for not crafting her into a more likeable
Michael Moore version of Karl Marx

Meanwhile, Obama's eternal 'Smileyface' float
filled with helium,
('cause Hillary hijacked what was left of the hot air)
caught on hell-fire when
his racist uncle/spiritual advisor of twenty years,
the Black Panthers,
Rezko, 
and Move-On.org
fired up a strong bowl of
government supplied
'angel-dust-laced wacko-weed'
and "typical white folks" ran
to the other side of the street
to join Forrest Gump as he looked up
from his gulf-shrimp-ice-cream cone
to gaze in wonder
as McCain's silver-haired antiquarian float
glided effortlessly through the giant wake
caused by the ensuing pandemonium

This drew cheers from those
bloodied and weary
of the implosions,
explosions,
and infighting,
while desperate hangers-on
wondered in vain
why their beloved saint Gore
was nowhere to be seen. 

Mama always said....

The parade continues...  :)

I liked the poem, just some advice...maybe if you'd break it down into stanza's or give it some shape it be even better...
