You know the tune, now sing the words... The Wreck Of the Edmund Obama The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the Senator they called ‘Chelsea’s Mommy’ That she, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy With a load of Wright rant twenty-six thousand words more Ah how his mentor of yore made Obama’s words sound empty. That young man and true was a bone to be chewed When the gales of November came early. The man was the pride of the Daily Kos side Coming back from some mill with John Edwards As the big politicos go, he was bigger than most With a crew and a message well seasoned Concluding some terms with a couple of Rezko firms So they left fully loaded for Cleveland At 3 AM one night when the telephone rang Could Ohio bitter enders leave them reelin’? The news on the wires made a tattle-tale sound And a wave broke over the railing And every man knew, as the captain did too, T’was the witch of November come stealin’. Pennsylvania came late and McCain had to wait When the Clintons of November came slashin’. When Indiana came it was Rev Wright again His the voice of a hurricane spewing and windy. When Carolina came, the old gov’nor came on deck sayin’. Fellas, it’s too rough to endorse ya. At Seven P.M. a main demographic caved in, he said Fellas, it’s been good t’know ya The Senator opined he had water comin’ in And the Obama ship and crew was in peril. And later that night when his negatives went outta sight Came the wreck of the Edmund Obama. Does any one know where the love of Gen Y goes When the press turns the minutes to hours? The pundits all say they’d have made Chesapeake Bay If they’d put Reverend Wright far behind him. They might have split up and so not have capsized; Instead he pressed on and took water. And all that remains is the faces and the names On the Internet lists he was compiling. Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings In the rooms of her ice-water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man’s dreams; The islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario Takes in what Lake Erie can send her, And the politicos go there as the pundits all know Cause the electoral votes in November are needed. In a cavernous hall in Chicago he stayed, In Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s Cathedral. The pastor spoke out around forty-nine times For each state where he hurt young Obama. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big pol they call ‘Chelsea’s Mommy’. Clinton, they said, never gives up her dead When the gales of November come early! |
