Ode To Uncle Joe (Apologies to Bobbie Gentry)

 

This is based on the song by Bobbie Gentry released in 1967 titled “Ode to Billie Joe

It was January, in the year twenty twenty-one
I was out at White Pass skiing down a black diamond run
And at dinner time, we stopped and skied back to the lodge to eat
And Mama hollered out the lodge door, “git them ski boots off your feet”
And then she said, “I got some news this mornin’ from channel 4”
“Today Biden was sworn in, and we haven’t seen worse before”

’n’ Papa said to Mama as he removed the goggles from his face
“Biden cowered in his basement; how’d he win the Presidential Race?”
“There’s five more bowl runs in the upper mountain I’ve got to ski”
’n’ Mama said the Dems will now be going on a spending spree
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good with Democrats in charge
With our country going down and the swamp people livin’ large

’n’ Brother said he recollected when Biden declared, “You ain’t Black.”
If you didn’t vote for him, sounding like he’s a racist hack
And wasn’t Joe praising former Klan member Robert Byrd
“Calling Byrd a friend and mentor at his funeral. How absurd!”
“I saw Biden on a video sniffing little girls around their hair”
“And now ya tell me Biden’s gonna be sittin’ in the White House chair”

’n’ Mama said to me, “Child, what’s happened; now it don’t look bright”
“I’ve been raising you thinking I was doing everything alright”
“That dementia guy, Uncle Joe, he got sworn in today”
“With the press keepin’ news of Hunter’s laptop outta the way”
“With Tara Reade crying out to the press till her face turned blue”
“What happened to ‘Believe all women!’ and the movement called ‘MeToo’?”

A year has come and gone since the swearing-in of Uncle Joe
We’ve got inflation, open borders, empty shelves, wouldn’t you know
The Covid virus still going ‘round; Uncle Joe caught it the other day
And all my bank accounts and savings they just keep slipping away
And me, times are hard, and stayin’ above water is gettin’ rough
And 2024 just can’t seem to get here fast enough

    Many try their hand at this art form, but few succeed.  Well done, Mr. Sage.

    BRAVO, Mr. Sage. NICELY DONE. Too bad Uncle Joe didn’t jump off the Talahatchie Bridge.
