HOME THE VERSAR 6 OBAMA POMES

obama and the tax refund

obama sat down and filed the taxes.
he was tired and wished for a drink of martini

he phoned office
'hey this is o.b. - got the liquid?'

'oval office tax returns. we have the juice'

the eagle flew overhead.
obama knew it would be a fireball
of a christmas reunion.

Fangorn animation

obama and the guitar hero

i asked obama how the taxes were filing
he said 'spiffy, swell, almost as good
as filing jackson's rebate.'

i said 'what of the guitar'
obama took his guitar out

and played 'judy blue'

i clapped and he raised my taxes.

obama kits out the team

obama asked millwall fc,
the famous everton football
bullies, to exist in a space of
time and distance

far removed
from the oval tax office.

obama signified retreat.
'let's go to the island'
'the island? you mean off turkey?'

'that's the one. see you there!'

obama lets the team down

obama certified for a response.
he let the team manage a fifth position.

votes one
votes minus twenty

obama was not allowed
to vote for shampoo magazine.
they signalled his overall loss and defeat
with an oval office signature sheet.

'no way, homeboy' they said.
'no tax returns in this broadsheet'

'well, hot dang' obama said
and cried into his
overton park
health magazine.

(Poems on red background were sent to the venerable 'Shampoo Magazine' and warmly rejected. Prophecy in the last poem rather annoying)



obama and the rockstar

i sat down with obama and enquired about iraq.
'how are we gonna stop it' i pleaded
he said 'it's simply a matter of time'
'they'll fold'
all very well, but when that missile is looming on the horizon,
there's not many words that can fill up the hole in our heads,
or the hole in our hearts.

we can't simply let them blow everything up, i said.
relax, said obama, leaning back in his chair.
relax? i said, incredulous. 'but what about iraq??'
what about iraq, said obama, smiling an irrepressible grin.

well, you're the boss, i said
and retired to the bowling room.
if obama says it's okay
then by golly gee brewster,
it's gonna be okay.

Obama sends for the military

I went to see obama at the oval office.
come in, he said.
i asked him what the iraq situation was.
he said very grave, very grave.
i asked him whether the military
ought to be assigned to the country
he said in a manner of speaking, yes!!
i asked him what the scale model of iraq's territory
was doing on his table
with all manner of troops, flags, tanks
and bombshells.
he said it's a matter of taste.
do we crush the russians?
obliterate the slavs?
or simply bide our time
here in america
drinking whiskey and shafting petrol cars
in the darkness away from the limelight,
and putin's magnificient scowl.
i said that was a presidential decision,
he nodded, his fingertips steepled together,
and i left, feeling war was apparent
in the future, in the past,
in fact, in everything obama wants us to see,
and delight in, forever!!
