    With (no) apologies to Ogden Nash for the many poems I have written based on his ‘Adventures of Isabelle’—my many ‘Adventures of Obama’ and my first ‘Adventures of Joe Biden’—I could not constrain myself today, watching the disgusting and wrenching display in our nations capital— so here is my response:
    
    The Adventures of Joe Biden
    
    Joe Biden spoke to an unruly mob
    Who shut down the Congress while doing its job
    Of confirming the election of two thousand-twenty
    As Trump’s minions bleated their protests a-plenty
    Our make-believe President, Rudy and Don by his side
    Encouraged his minions to stand by his lies
    And march down Pennsylvania, the street not the state
    Where surely their welcome could prove his estate
    As President-for-life and all would end well
    But his fans, or fanatics, continued to swell
    Their over-sized hopes for a coup of their foes
    Breaking windows they entered and chaos they chose
    But Joe Biden said calmly to them and their hero
    Stand down and respect institutions we cherish
    If we don’t stick together we surely will perish
    Your hero’s revealed for the con man he is
    You were promised a future—well here it is!
    I’ll be your President—that’s one thing that’s written
    It’s called the Constitution and it says I’ll be sittin’
    FOR FOUR MORE YEARS!
