Came a young boy from who knows where-- Hawaii was his claim-- Said his name was Jerry-- As Obama found his fame-- He wasn't very smart-- Wisdom passed him by-- It never really bothered him -- A wizard at telling lies-- He never held a job-- For him there was no reason-- When it came to a con-- The young man was well seasoned-- He was skilled with gifted tongue-- He could deceive most anyone-- Until he met a man named George-- Of young Jerry he soon would forge-- A puppet for his collection-- When it's time to commit my crime-- I'll use this one in the election-- George gave Jerry a new name-- The name of Obama-- It reminded him of his friend-- Whose name was Osama-- After he got Obama off of cocaine-- He introduced him to the clinically insane-- He met Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dorn -- And all those sworn-- To America's ultimate destruction-- Obama joined their clan-- And set out to make plans-- It's not over-- The rest will be told-- As history unfolds -- And their names are called way down under.--

With all due respect and appreciation for the sentiment and your efforts, I gotta say that I’ve never seen a more awkwardly-constructed poem in my life.
Jerry?

Why couldn't you just take it for what it is, and move on?
You've gotta be a liberal."
To the contrary. If I were a liberal, I would have done what YOU have done: made a hasty, incorrect assumption and called him a name.
I'm not a professional poet or writer. I'm simply an American with an opinion. (Sound familiar?) And I expressed it. I DO appreciate the sentiment and effort that went into his work, which he submitted for purposes of discussion and comment.
I'm not about to assume the role of Mom/cheerleader, telling him that it's a great piece, simply because he wrote it.
Ever watch American Idol auditions? In my opinion, there's a lot of room for improvement.
boo hoo...
Wow, you're a poet, too!
Nice work - did you have to use a rhyming dictionary?
