The Twelve Days of Barack's Inauguration

We're twelve days away from I-Day! I made up this sorta satire of our await for Barack's Inauguration, to be sung to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas... as much as humanely possible. By the way, if this year you were a member of his site, you'll "get" the 'My Obama' part and frequent emails sent to you.

This is also unquestionably the silliest post I've ever written. What the heck! Enjoy.

On the Twelth day of Barack
My Obama sent to me
Twelve hours of being there
at his Inauguration
I could hardly see him
in the audience
of over 4,000,000 people
I really didn't care
'cause I got TIVO
Except I couldn't find
a Porto Potty
Of all the twelve days
Why couldn't he plan
for a place where I could 'go'
It don't really matter
My Obama's in White House
And still sneaking emails
On his Blackberry
And this I think true
Cause he thanked me
Or maybe it was Michelle
Lord I love her too
Hugs to their fam
and all us who voted
for making possible
Barack Obama's Inauguration!
