My fellow Americans I stand here before you today
the first poetic president, but not the last, I pray.
Our platform is simple, a creed for all time
every law will now be written in poetic rhyme.

We will no longer tolerate greed  - we will share
we will no longer tolerate indifference -  we will care
we will no longer tolerate cruelty, hate or bigotry
anyone who does, will answer directly to me!

Children shall be taught to read poetry first of all
rhyming, writing and arithmetic will be a teacher’s call
we will reach out our hands to help anyone in need
selfish people, hear my words and take heed…. take heed.

Love will be the battle cry to win this poetic war
peace will be the reason that the heavens we explore
Majestic eagle will still stand for freedom and liberty
but in his beak will be the rose; the rose of civility

No one shall ever want for food, it’s the law of the land
no child shall be abused, by any human hand
Once a month we’ll meet here again, to remind ourselves that we
are the greatest country in the world, proud, loving and free.

Oh, Poet deVine, we do need you
On Pennsylvania Avenue
This country would not be the same
With PRESIDENT before your name.

With all the poetry you wrote
You can be sure to get my vote.
I am your biggest fan, by far
And I'll bring you a big cigar.

So if you need an orderly
Don't forget to call on me.
I'm better than Ms. Lewinsky
And, more than that, I'll work for free!!!

Balladeer you are hired
(Gore be gone! you are fired)
I need a man to stand by me
to lend a hand with poetry

And now I need to find a vice
someone funny and not so nice
need to find a man to be
inspiration for my poetry!

Balladeer he's the man
If he can't do it no one can
He'll make you slap your hide
In laughter, you get quite the ride
