Birthday Greetings From the
President
It’s what I get for
procrastinating
The
President
Was unable to put his thoughts
on paper
On such short notice but sends
his best
In the form of a form letter on
letter head
Befitting a man of his position,
embossed
With his seal. Can’t you picture the two of them?
Loosed in the Oval Office,
heedless of the puddles
Fish sailing through the air,
nicknames bandied
About (Ole’ Flipper McGee; Ole’
Bumasmoke)
Late night calls to McConnell
and Boehner
The seal all business on speaker
phone, the President
Gone rubbery, eyes crossed,
anything to send
His whiskery pal into conniption
fits, collapsing the two
Of them in a heap on the rug
scattering beach balls
Taking turns nipping at the bulbs
of tinny horns
Greeting Joe Biden with a lewd salute
of musical
Blats and wet flipper slaps on
the back.
