On Obama's Plate

by Calvin Trillin

Now Israel and Turkey are having it out.
The well near the Gulf Coast continues to spout.
Kim Junior's attacking "America's lackey."
It's hard to tell why: this little guy's wacky.
The war in Afghanistan drags on and on.
Iran's near the bomb--conclusion foregone.
The oil's at the beaches now, blob after blob.
Are you still quite certain you wanted this job?

(Thanks to my sister Marilyn for passing this along.)

P.S. Kim Jong-il, above referred to as "Kim Junior" by Calvin Trillin, is the leader of North Korea. The official leader of the country is still Kim's long-deceased father Kim Il-sung, the founder of North Korea. According to David Letterman, Kim Jong-il has a brother by the name of Men-ta-lee-il.
