Guess which Obama wrote the following poetry titled “Underground”:
1. Sasha Obama
2. Malia Obama
3. Barack Obama
Under water grottos, caverns
Filled with apes
That eat figs.
Stepping on the figs
That the apes
Eat, they crunch.
The apes howl, bare
Their fangs, dance . . .
If you guessed Barack Obama wrote that poetry, you are correct! 
Obama was a 20-year-old student at Occidental College when he wrote “Underground.”
Isn’t he talented?

Not bad!
Poetry is what ever you feel in your heart and mind.
Sandra, because you think he is so talented, may I ask what your interpretation of this selection was??? (jeopardy music playing)
SNAPS FINGAS .. *snap* ….*snap*….*snap*…*snap*…*snap*
Did anyone see him and “The First Lady on 60 Minutes last night?
See Sandra….you are so wrong, Obama is a motivation…even to you! He motivates you to write about him everyday! You dislike so many people, but still you constantly allow them to consume your every thought! Poor poor thing….you need some time on the couch!!

Is that the dog that they are about to get? Sandra, when you get that news, can you let us know? so cute..nice family.
LMAO!!!! The satire in Sandra is too funny! Was that all of the poem though? I know my poems come from the left field at times, but I’m imagining someone reading that at a spoken word outing and getting nothing but “crickets.”

You can tell they have lots of fun together. She was not just sitting there quietly but loving adding to the interview.
They all look so pretty!!! Im loving them!!
More crative than some that blog about hi, and definitely creative and talented enough to run for and secure the office of COMMANDER IN CHIEF, AKA, UNITED STATES PRESIDENT!
Sandra, this may have been just what the professor was looking for. Do you know what the assignment was? This may have been the best piece in the entire class…
Good Morning/Afternoon, FAM!!!
okay i am going to take it back to literary 201. if i am not mistaken that is a haiku.
i could be wrong as i am not the be all in re to poetry and i am sure one of the faithful will correct me though…..

I believe you are correct. Also wouldn’t it be “literary 101 not 201?.
this is becoming so sad
Wow! Snap, Snap, Snap, Snap my fingers.
@anna normally poetry and diff. writing styles is part II, hence the “201″
at least it was when i was in college…back in the mid 90’s.
and furthermore i think sandra knows this may indeed be a haiku…and is just trying to insult our president elect’s intelligence…as well as ours…i don’t think she expected anybody to point out that it could be a haiku….BUT i could be wrong on both…. idk trying to figure out what is in auntie’s head sometimes gives me a headache.
OUR COUNTRY IS DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why y’all be analyzing what Sandra thinks? Its just a joke. I swear you can’t tell an Obama joke in this country whether you be black or white.
