A humorous poem that captures the satire of it all. I especially liked the last line of Obama abandoning Afghanistan. Great job, Tom.

I have seen this form before and you managed it well. You also cleverly combined the two images and surprised me with your innocent rhymes juxtaposed with the concluding indictment. You should have joined the NaHaWriMo project, since you have clearly written a poem a day during April! Cheers- Joan

Ha-ha... yeah, that's very true, Tom.
I've never read a poem in a Clerihew format before now. I appreciated the history you included in your author's notes concerning this poetic formats creation, and how it came to be. Great photos accompany this to enhance the humor.

Well done, and thanks for the laugh! ~Dean :D

    Thank you Dean. Sometimes I wonder about these formats, but there are books published of these Clerihews. So i think i helps to know their origin and purpose.

    You're very welcome, Tom. I enjoyed both the poem and the format. ~Dean

Your poem makes a great and true perspective of both men.

Good job with the rhyme and format. I have heard of this before but never had it explained.

I see no changes. Good job and thanks for sharing.
