May 2014
at the outset
his voice twas so promising
he painted a picture
for the citizenry so alluring
the people
were taken in
by the words he uttered
his fine speeches
were *******
and rhetoric cluttered
his vision for prosperity
didn't quiet eventuate
the economy of the land
sunk and did deflate
he talked the talk
but the man
just didn't have the fortitude
to walk the walk
the folks from California
to Boston
now observe
every nuance
in his void speeches
and they've become aware
of all the bosh
he preaches
his ratings as President
plummeting faster
than a parachutist
falling from the sky
