The Birther Song

[Bolo Boffin]

I found this at the James Randi Educational Forums, another website I frequent because of posts like the one I'm sharing with you. It was a challenge for someone to come up with an anthem for the birthers, and Dr. Adequate delivered the following lyrics:

The Birther Song

Here is a puzzle concerning the President:
where is the land where he's legally resident?
Sure, we can guess
that it's not the US;
but beyond that I'm baffled, I have to confess.
Is he Spanish or Turkish or Swedish or what?
Could the Belgians have spawned this insidious plot?
Does he come from Iran
or Peru, or Japan?
I don't know what he is, but I know what he's not.

Here is a puzzle that people should notice:
oh, what is the race of the forty-fourth POTUS?
It's possibly true
that Obama's a Jew
'cos he's running my country and that's what they do.
Oh, is he from Poland or Chad or Tibet?
Some say he's American, but you can bet
that those folks just ain't right
'cos the man isn't white
unlike every American I've ever met.

Here is a puzzle we should and we can debate:
is he some sort of Manchurian Candidate?
Maybe (I've heard)
he's an Arab, or Kurd
(but to say he's American would be absurd).
Does he trace his descent from the Germans or Greeks?
And will somebody tell me what language he speaks?
I have to deny he
was born in Hawai'i;
to list the alternatives might take me weeks.

Here is a puzzle that needs rationality:
what's the Commander-in-Chief's nationality?
Prove to me, please
if he's Senegalese
or Honduran or Russian or Dutch or Chinese.
Oh, where does he come from? (I wish he'd go back.)
Is it Cuba or Canada, France or Iraq?
Some people will say
it's the old USA,
but if he's American, why is he black?

:silly: :argh: :wow: :scared:

I didn't see that at the top of the thread because I found it in a different thread where it had been nominated for a monthly Language Award.

holee shit! When people say, "Let your freak flag fly," they don't mean all 272 of them!
