poem

Goodluck Jonathan

Hands down, Goodluck Jonathan has the best

name of any premier, leader or head

of state, even taking into account

Ghengis Khan and his brother Don.  Sever

good from luck, slip in a comma, you have

a blessing fit for an astronaut, bride

or groom.  The part we don’t say, you’re going

to need it, provides context and a sense

of urgency to a rote, otherwise

tepid aphorism.  No doubt Goodluck

Jonathan knew that going in.  If it

works in Abuja, why not here, why not

Have A Great Day Romney, or Don’t

Take Any Wooden Nickles Newt

or Stop To Smell The Roses Rick or

my personal favorite, Sometimes You

Feel Like A Nut Ron?  With any luck No

Drama Obama will keep his job and

I’m sure Goodluck Jonathan would tell him,

"I wish you the very best of luck my

friend, you’re going to need all you can get."
