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 inauguration Knowing he’d face a divided nation Mitch and his minions known for obstruction Smiling as though there’d been no eruption Of venomous attackers hunting their heads At the urging of Donald who now they did dread Joe Biden, Joe Biden didn’t worry Joe Biden didn’t scream or scurry He calmly took his oath, made his stand And brought civility back to our land.
