Campaign Speech

Since I'm going to say anything to get elected
And I'm hoping you'll believe my lies
Here's a few other things I want you to swallow
Smoking three packs a day is good for you
Chimpanzees make good house pets
Gambling is a great investment and will get you rich
Eating donuts will make you lose weight
Dinosaurs were made extinct by cave men
Barack Obama is a great president
So was George
Hitler is in heaven
Drones are here to protect you
Cook you turkey for 350 minutes at 180 degrees
The Cubs will win the World Series next year
The Bears will win the Super Bowl too
Bigfoot lives twenty miles northeast of Seattle
The Loch Ness Monster isn't seen much because he's really shy
Aliens would reveal themselves, but they like playing head games
So when you go to the voting booth, vote for me
Not that other jerk!

About this poem:
Some of the lies are really pretty funny, if you look at it like a standup routine, and not the truth.

Hi, mcradloff,
Thanks for sharing your Campaign Speech. Barack Obama is a great president is one statement with which I agree; although I might have chosen the term "very good" and let history determine whether "great" would apply. As for sports, I guess I'll have to wait 'til next year to see how those Cubs and Bears fare. [I'll be cheering for the Red Sox and Patriots, of course.]
