THE BALLAD OF POTUS AND FLOTUS
© M.Pattie 2011

Great POTUS from the ‘Land of Free’
came to the Antipodes,
and brought charisma he possesses
by the bucket loads.

And Julia she swooned and gushed
just like a love-struck teen.
We haven’t cringed so much since
back when Menzies met the Queen.

He did but see her passing by;
excitedly agog.
Whilst Julia, at POTUS swooned -
I reached like a sick dog.

Whilst FLOTUS and the First Bloke
in the background . . . but aware
that it had not gone un-noticed
what Tim thought of her hair.

And J.G. said “you’re welcome
to our Top End army bases.
(just help us stop these bloody
boats that come from foreign places!)

And in return what do we get
for shelling out our dollars,
on blokes in black with dark shades on
all talking to their collars.

With decoy choppers up above;
Unprecedented scenes.
And frenzied press kept well away
from armoured limousines.

It’s only them Chinese who reckon
POTUS aint a charmer.
He should just piss them off some more -
and meet the Dalai Lama.

And if that dress his Missus wore;
you somehow didn’t notice.
In New Idea a 12 page spread
on “Outfits worn by FLOTUS.

Very witty Marty Razor blades for brekky?

Think you have a typo here

Whilst Julia, at POTUS swooned -
I reached like a sick dog.

Should be I suspect - retched Verb: Make the sound and movement of vomiting.

Very irreverent Marty My view is I'd rather have Gomer Pyle and Sergeant Bilko up north than a few soldiers belonging to ....well you know who.


Sorry Marty, I'll be a rhyming stickler Antipodes is pronounced.. antip..odees. so I'm afraid there's no rhyme with loads. Unless you were being deliberately quirky. then it's allowed. probably a word that not many people use so it's easy to slip there.

Pretty well my thoughts as well Marty, haven't got a spare bag have you.

I'm guessing Marty Knew exactly what he was writing, worked too,

Cheers mate,

Yes, irreverence indeed . . . did you know - when Barack Obama first planned to visit last year the Australian Police given the responsibility for his security used the code name "Operation Blue Glum". It was quietly shelved with perhaps a touch of embarrasment when discovered 'Blue gum' is a slang term in America for a lazy African American who refuses to work.
