Adventures of Joe Biden  Joe Biden decided to run againThough his flawed first attempt had ended in painA second run faltered in twenty O eightWhich most likely helped his political fateObama asked Joe to be his Vice PresidentJoe Biden said “Yes!” To the White House he wentThe economy was teetering on the brink of recessionJoe helped Barack stave off a depressionJoe Biden’s campaign was going downThen in South Carolina he turned it around.  Joe Biden went on to win nominationAmidst a pandemic gripping the nationHis opponent was nasty, he trumpeted proudlyHe threatened and blustered and shouted loudly“I’ll beat you Joe Biden—I’ll trample you under”“I’ll eat you alive—I’ll tear you asunder”Joe Biden, Joe Biden didn’t worryJoe Biden didn’t scream or scurryHe just kept going, he wasn’t all hesitantHe just got elected our forty-sixth President.

I wrote a lot of ‘Adventures of Obama’ during the times now past. Ogden Nash, who wrote comic poetry in the 1920s, wrote ‘Adventures of Isabel,’ a 40 line poem in rhyming couplets. I took my poetic license and wrote a series of the Adventures of Obama in 10 line segments at a time. Each stanza tells the of encountering seemingly impossible odds and turning them into victory in unexpected ways. The original Isabel was a little girl who met a ravenous bear, an ugly witch, a one-eyed giant, and a despairing doctor and used her “magic” powers to win out in the end. I am continuing to use my poetic license with a nod to Ogden Nash in the Adventures of Joe Biden. Adventures of Joe Biden—Inauguration Day Joe Biden showed up for inaugurationKnowing he’d face a divided nationMitch and his minions known for obstructionSmiling as though there’d been no eruptionOf venomous attackers hunting their headsAt the urging of Donald who now they did dreadJoe Biden, Joe Biden didn’t worryJoe Biden didn’t scream or scurryHe calmly took his oath, made his standAnd brought civility back to our land.
