using homonyms and proverbs and playing with the English language
a senior and a mentor, he courageously asked for a date
the question was never about the weather, but whether
he was barking up a wrong tree, unreachable
he insisted, she relented, and yes he got cold feet
no small feat it was to bring her to see spike lee
or eat chips while taking a walk by the sea
a three year journey began, no beating around the bush
this woman had found a place in his simple soul
he was a multi faceted dude, bringing change became
his sole purpose very soon, she could not care less
and was ready to accept, except she wished often
that he wore socks that were a color complement
as a couple, ‘interesting’ was their favorite compliment
valois at hyde park, his then favorite place for steak
that being said, it was she who went on a limb
and put her entire life and career at stake
to cut a long story short, one that everyone has watched
let us pause, learn and give it up for
Barack and Michelle; raise to their friendship
the famous cherry flavored Obama shot
And while we are at it, let us also pray
that as a nation we do not again fall prey
to the current president’s struggles
with heeling and healing
