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.

No mention of Kamala? Or is that a separate poem? Sent from my iPhone

For Sarah, I may have posted this one just after election day but . . . Adventures of Joe Biden Joe Biden decided to run again Though his flawed first attempt had ended in pain A second run faltered in twenty O eight Which most likely helped his political fate Obama asked Joe to be his Vice President Joe Biden said “Yes!” To the White House he went The economy was teetering on the brink of recession Joe helped Barack stave off a depression Joe Biden’s campaign was going down Then in South Carolina he turned it around. Joe Biden went on to win nomination Amidst a pandemic gripping the nation His opponent was nasty, he trumpeted proudly He 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 worry Joe Biden didn’t scream or scurry He just kept going, he wasn’t all hesitant He just got elected our forty-sixth President.
