Narcissus

There’s a lot of feyness to Obama, a little doubt as to the testosterone quotient in his DNA. Michelle seems more heavily testosterone laden than he. What is it Obama sees when he looks in a mirror, as he often does?

 

Is he mister, is he missus

He knows not, our own Narcissus

In the mirror he sees beauty

Saving worlds his clear cut duty

Speaking ill of his own nation

Surely will inflate his station

Seeing thus his own reflection

Smiles in humble genuflection

Knows for certain he is seeing

One superb and shining being

Firm and bold, an alpha mister

Born to ride the screaming twister

Thus he stands before the mirror

Knowing not there’s nothing queerer

Than a man, a true narcissus

Seeing not that he’s a missus

 

 

Goebbels

Josef Goebbels was Adolf Hitler’s spinmeister, who said it was foolish to tell small lies when big lies were much more effective. Goebbels’ picture, it seems, is in the wallets of many of our so-called journalists. The lefty news anchors and lefty pundits will try to put some spin on the Obama debate disaster, and will surely come out snarling in an attempt to right the ship. Some couplets to ponder, as strangers we wander, to such places where, lives only despair. Or, as we were constantly reminded in 1942, there was, every day, a close shave on the Burma Road.

 

Every day the lying spews

From Lefties anchoring the news

 

Our Left’s composed of selfless nobles

Who self compete to be like Goebbels

 

The sycophants all love Obama

Incompetence, thus daily drama

 

The Left has won and none can foil it

They’ve put the country in the toilet

 

Our children’s lives will be disasters

Should they defy their Lefty masters

 

If Obie wins a new four years some

Of the future will be fearsome

 

The pundits now who think they’re clever

Will live, like coprolite, forever

 

The Acolytes

Supposedly adult Obama supporters have taken to writing the sacred name on the backs of their hands. Can you see the possibilities? Four years ago a New Jersey teacher taught her first graders to sing ;”We Love Obama”. But why just one first grade class in one school in one state? Why not ink the back of the hands of each public school child in America? It could go something like this.

 

A local middle school production, written, staged and directed by dedicated to the children members of the Teachers Union, shows its solidarity to Obama by means of messages written on the backs of the hands of even the smallest of the students. As the curtain rises, the chorus, dressed in glittering white gowns and cardboard halos, sings to Obama, the Savior.

 

The stage is set, the lights are low

The curtain slowly raises

To fierce applause the chorus sings

The now familiar praises

“Obama! Son of God,” they sing

“Observe our handed letters

That read of love and faith and trust

In you and all our betters

Obamacare is here for us

If ever we should need it

And if we have a thought for you

We’re sure that you will heed it

For well we know you know our minds

You know how we are feeling

And that is why, Obama dear

To you we all are kneeling.”

With that the children kneel and pray

Their hands writ on extended

Revealing praiseful compliments

To One for whom knees bended

But just before the kids went on

A stealthy truth promoter

Changed all the words the teachers wrote

A fearless Romney voter

The audience was pleased and smiled

As O himself demanded

Not noticing the compliments

Were one and all back-handed

 

The Flummery Revealed

The first debate is over, and Mitt Romney scored a knockout over a befuddled and listless Obama. Tonight the magician in the White House pulled a dead rabbit out of his hat. The curtain has been lifted, and the country has beheld a shriveled simulacrum, lost without his teleprompter, unable to speak coherently beyond the memorized sound bites.

 

The curtain, ruffled by the breeze

Reveals the naked form for all to see

The limpid smile once thought to please

Now only shows a living parody

We watched with awe the curtain rend

Mitt Romney tore the damn thing clean in half

The sleight of hand is at an end

Obama led off crying by his staff

It isn’t over, just round one

The unions, fraud and Acorn will be heard

But as at Austerlitz the sun

Shines brighter as the world now hears the word

That Romney will restore the sense

Of freedom and democracy that would

Have been referred to in past tense

And Barack shred the country if he could

The curtain’s down, illusions gone

The implements of magic now revealed

The lady never had been sawn

As light shines on the flummery concealed

 

GPS

I think some GPS manufacturer is missing a marketing tool by not having the voice assume an annoyed tone when you go past the recommended turn.  “Whatsa matter, you don’t believe me?” Or a sultry woman who implies love and adventure when advising you of the next turn.

 

A sultry voice, a lonely man

A darkened road, late night

A woman’s voice, as only can

And everything’s all right

Turn here, she says, there’s more to come

That’s right, one quarter mile

I only make this call for some

I love your winsome smile

Oh no, you’re past, the turn was there

You’re gonna make me cry

I thought I’d found a man who’d care

Though just a voice am I

 

History Rhymes

The Chinese are raising the stakes over those tiny Japanese islands the Chinese claim are theirs, a claim fueled by hubris as much as the oil and gas contained in the waters around them. Will it come to war between China and Japan? China seems prepared to go that far. As Mark Twain correctly observed, history doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme.

 

The Chinks and Japs have been at war

For many ages now

And we have seen so oft before

The Chinese emperor bow

To Japanese who seem to win

Despite the number gaps

Can they give fortune one more spin

The answer is perhaps

The Kamikaze came and blew

The Mongol fleet away

And later Meiji armies knew

That they had won the day

In ’37 Nanking fell

And China lay prostrate

Knocked down but then saved by the bell

Pearl Harbor changed their fate

Yes China now’s a different case

But still, as we all know

The PRC lost beaucoup face

Not many years ago

When Viet Nam beat them real good

At odds of one to ten

For China never understood

That war was more than men

And so some islands are the cause

Of tensions on the rise

You’d think that history would give pause

But it is no surprise

That China, rich and smug and fat

Would think it’s time to strike

That tiny island nation that

They always did dislike

A billion Chinese more or less

Japan one two five mill

But numbers, history will confess

Count not as much as will

So if it’s war ‘twixt Japs and Chinks

If they should come to blows

The winners are the Japs, methinks

That’s how the history goes

‘Gainst China Japs just seem to win

The odds against them still

Will fortune give them one more spin

The answer is it will

A Rahm With A View

During the recent strike by the Teachers Union against the Chicago Public School system, Obama and Biden discuss the situation, in which the President is torn between his love for Rahm Emmanuel and his love for the Teachers Union.

 

I tell you, Joe, it’s kids this hurts

Think of the PhDs

We’ll lose if all these little squirts

Are sitting home at ease

While they should be a studying

Their Latin and their Greek

These teachers sure are muddying

Their lives now as we speak

It’s not as bad as you might think

Said Joe with goofy grin

Chicago schools just mainly stink

So better out than in

The kids can hang out on the streets

While pickets walk the line

And learn to dance them shufflin’ feets

The kids will be just fine

But Joe, Rahm frets about his fate

He’s caught between two sides

He has to set the union straight

To prove his bona fides

Joe says, with grin, that guys like us

Raise kids with all the tools

And that’s because our kids don’t bus

Or go to public schools

 

Remember Pearl Harbor

China threatens war with Japan over some islands the Japanese say are theirs, and the Chinese say are within the Chinese sphere of influence, and therefore theirs. The problem for Obama is that while the Japanese are legally right, the Chinese have the guns, and the Japanese are certain Obama’s America will not abide by the defense treaties between the two countries, leaving them out to dry. So therefore it is Japan that is the problem. In a rather relaxed conversation with the Vice President, Obama discusses the problem of Japan.

 

How can they doubt my word, he said

I pledge the US might

Will both protect and succor them

If China wants to fight

Of course there’s more to this affair

Than seems to meet the eye

The Japs must be submissive and

Not scream and shout Banzai!

For China, Joe, does have a right

To waters near and far

And if some islands sit in them

They’re theirs, so there you are

Too right, Joe said with goofy grin

We’ll send them to the barber

The Japs must take a haircut, boss

Their turn for a Pearl Harbor

 

The Boyfriend

Why do young women, and especially young, unmarried white women, love Obama so dearly? Well, he’s cool and handsome, an alpha male, and he’s black. But why do they still love him no matter how he treats them, no matter how much harm he is doing to the country? Well, he’s cool and handsome, an alpha male, and he’s black. He’s the boyfriend they can’t forget, the cold, indifferent boyfriend they love and lust for, no matter what.

 

He left her crying, in the lurch

She waited for him at the church

He laughed as she began the search

For the boyfriend

He’s somewhere near, she said at last

I never thought he’d run so fast

He hadn’t done that in the past

The boyfriend

She cried, I’m done with him for good

I’ll even leave the neighborhood

I’d kill the bastard if I could

The boyfriend

I’ve got a new man, brave and strong

I should have had him all along

How could I have been oh so wrong

About the boyfriend

I’m sorry babe, he called that night

I beg you let me make things right

I love you babe with all my might

Your boyfriend

I’ll care for you and keep you warm

I’ll shelter you from every storm

Remember when we shared that dorm?

Your boyfriend

That new guy he’s just not your kind

A name like Mitt? Well never mind

Come back to me and you will find

Your boyfriend

I love you so, she sobbed and wailed

They said that all you did has failed

My ballot is already mailed

My boyfriend

I doubted yes your love for me

I’ll make it up to you, you’ll see

And you, Barack, will always be

My boyfriend

 

The Cleansing Fire

Muslim violence increases, Muslim killings of Americans and westerners grows apace. Muslims feel their god is on their side, and they are about to succeed in conquering the infidel West after 1400 years of trying. They see weakness on every side, and are determined to take advantage of it. They see the West as on the way out, and they on the way to world subjugation. But they are wrong. At some point the elephant can no longer ignore the ants biting his ankle, and stomps on them

.

The God of the Muslims commands them to war

Insisting the infidel die

And Allah’s bright sword is with laughter swift drawn

For they know that the vic’try is nigh

They see that the West is afraid of them now

They see that Obama won’t act

They see that the killing of Yankees will bring

Only words spoken after the fact

But what they don’t see is that old Western man

Is living despite the elites

Who live for the pomp and wine and the spoils

And mind not at all the defeats

And deep in the souls of the white northern men

There stirs the faint traces of lust

Of lust for the blood of the dark Arab man

Who kills us ‘cause told that he must

In the great northern forests the feeling has grown

In the hills of the great western states

On the grass of the great Mississippi washed plains

The men of the West mull the fates

Of killers, beheaders and players with fire

Who think that their Allah will strike

The infidel dead should he dare to resist

Parading their heads on a pike

It’s coming to pass that enough is enough

The thousand year bill must be paid

In blood of the guilty and innocent alike

The end of the ancient Crusade

For hubris will take them, the Arab mad street

To follow the Allah command

To take out our cities with Persian made nukes

Not knowing they don’t understand

That war as conducted in the Western way

When war is decided at last

Will end in destruction of all that they own

And come not so slowly but fast

As fire is rained down on cities and towns

And villages fill with despair

They scream for their God to deliver the foe

Not knowing their God isn’t there
