Twas November the seventh, day after elections,
America was represented, all of the sections!
The votes had been cast in the system with care
In hopes that Obama soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their classes,
While visions of binders scared all the lasses.
And mom in her apron, and I in my suit
Had just settled down to look at our Halloween loot.
When out on North Lawn, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.
Away to the window, I threw open the blinds
To see tons of people standing in lines!
First Sandy stole gas from the Jersey Shore,
Then people who voted found it quite a chore.
When, what to my wondering ears should appear,
Tons of Americans who gave quite a cheer!
They were led by Obama, jumpin’ and jivin’,
Next to him smiling sat good ol’ Joe Biden.
Led by two eagles, and that cute dog Bo,
On all their shirts was a big, giant ‘O.’
Away they all walked, headed north to Washington
Where they knew they wouldn’t be greeted with stones.
So up to D.C., they all took a walk,
To hard work or a challenge, they did not balk.
From health care to human rights, Obama took a stand.
For that we’re very grateful — give him a hand!
Sasha and Malia must both be so proud;
If he was our dad, we’d announce it aloud!
From Twitter to Facebook, the youth won the vote.
We earned it, dear reader, take a moment to gloat.
No need to be scared of the almost nightmare
Of the man who’s a robot that dyes its hair.
We’re saved from the possible Romney curse;
Obama is better and definitely not worse.
He’ll give us better Pell grants and health care to boot,
He’ll provide us with hurricane supplies, so we don’t have to loot.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to work,
And filed all the bills, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the White House chimney he rose!
He sprang to Air Force One, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew without even launching a missile.
But we heard him exclaim before they had left,
“Many thanks, all you young people! Especially UF!
