is not a plumber
his name is Sam
lived in Alaska
in 1994
big hospital bills, too
(Does he need Obama’s
health reforms to save
the rest of what he owns?)
the Toledo Division of Building Inspection
laughs at his flawed ambition
exposed by John McCain – who
searching for the emblematic rural primitive
plays “you betcha” politics with a 34 year-old rubik
cube to light the embers of a failed campaign
And here’s the best for last:
Joe the Plumber has inspired
John McCain’s secret plan
to get Osama
and put him where he belongs:
say his name 20 times
on prime time TV
send the media googling
flying ‘til dawn
then watch Diane Sawyer interview
Osama Bin Laden on the rocks
next morning
in front of his cave
the morals?
they are many
they are hiding, too
