If I Heard Obama

If I heard Obama
Obama with a mission
Obama with emotion
All over this land
Obama with his cadence
Obama's repetition
Obama spouts love and peace in his pauses and his clauses
All over this land

When I heard a Bush
His grammar left me grieving
His grammar left me yawning
All over the place
His grammar was appalling
His grammar was deceiving
His grammar was mis-unspoke by over-preposition
All over the place, folks

Now I've heard Obama
Obama and oration
Obama and his fine words
All over this land
Obama with his heartstrings
Obama's intonation
Obama spouts love and peace in his pauses and his clauses
All over this land
