Wacky Web Tales: An Ode



Radio Announcer: Thank you for tuning in today. We are here in Seoul to celebrate National Poetry Month. In just a moment, the nation's poet laureate, Obama, will read a poem about an apple. And here is Obama.
Obama: Thank you, everyone. This is a very dangerous poem I wrote about an apple.


An Ode to an Apple
The apple is as big as an orange.
It reminds me of small oranges swimming.
O, the apple. O, the apple!
What do beautiful people think when they see you for the first time?
Perhaps they know there are happy days ahead.
O, the apple. O, the apple!
For some, you are dirty, but for others, you are sexy.
If we are sleeping, we pause when we think of you.
May you always eat.
O, the apple. O, the apple!
The end.


Radio Announcer: On behalf of the poets, thank you for eating.
