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! Milan Hamilton 01 06 21 Sent from my iPhone
