 He’s quite the celeb, of that fact we’re all sure;

He’s been on a nonstop publicity tour

That got him a gig on TV’s biggest shows,

The better his charm and allure to expose.

 

His wife is on Vogue, he appears on GQ,

But it seems that there’s more that he’s anxious to do –

It looks like he’s honing a standup routine;

Move over Jay Leno, Barack’s on the scene!

 

While on “The Tonight Show” Obama compared

His bowling technique to a clumsiness shared

By contestants in Special Olympics events;

Who knew that he had such a humorous sense?

 

Having slayed’em back home, he went way overseas

To spread “mea culpas” and ask “pretty please”

Of the Euros (who nonetheless spurned his requests),

Although his great wit must’ve surely impressed

 

Like during that moment of unscripted candor

when Barack outdid Bush as chief bumbling commander

in claiming an “Austrian” language exists;

when it comes to amusement the guy just can’t miss!

 

Of all the bad luck, while Barack trod this stage,

Kim Jong Il fired a rocket and raised global rage!

This nuclear scare caused Obama to say,

“The world should disarm, and we’ll show them the way!”

 

There’s a master of irony ‘neath all those charms;

He’s joking, of course; if we dumped all our arms

The only guys left that’ll have any nukes

Will be Mideast jihadists and crazy Kim’s kooks!

 

He’s mastered the physical clowning, as well:

He broke us all up when he just about fell

While bowing before an Arabian king

While his handlers denied that he did such a thing!

 

And now we note Hillary’s stealing some thunder

With her own comic touch on a policy blunder:

There’s 900 mil that she’s pledged to release

To poor tortured Gazans to buy Mideast peace!

 

There’s plenty of options for humor ahead:

A “stimulus” keeping us mired in the red;

“Cap and trade” to insure global warmth isn’t spread;

A tax code insuring the “wealthy” are bled

While capitalism gets flipped on its head….

 

This makes us take pause and review what we’ve said:

 ‘Twould be “funny” – except that it’s “scary” instead!
