An Obama Limerick Revisited

Writing the Hillary Limerick wasn't a problem, but Barack's has been tough. He's the original and a new alternative version.

There once was a man named Obama
Who was black but had a white Mama.
People wanted a change
But his name was too strange 
Cause tween the O and b there's no comma.
 

For those who felt the comma was a bit of a stretch (try fitting apostrophe into a limerick), here's another version. I think I can get away with Obama in the first and last line since the most famous limerick of all time used Tiger in the same way. 

 

There once was a man named Obama

Who was black but had a white Mama.

People cried, "We want change;

But, Dear God, what a name!

President Barack Hussein Obama!"
