Once upon a time, about seven hundred billion dollars ago,
there lived the Cavemanelli's, packing their suitcases to go;
on a family trip to Washington BC, the capital of a great land,
where two bushes were worth more than what waited on hand;
wanting to be there when one candidate would be voted to reign,
assumed they'd be left with Obama, ready to right off McCain.
When suddenly Rocco Cavemanelli screamed loudly at his wife,
"Did you see my club?" he demanded, adding to the strife;
though old and splintered he of course held it so very dear,
maybe she sold it at her cave sale from his gut he did fear;
for he had hoped to grab, like the tail of his dog as it wags,
Sarah by her hair, all the way back to Alaska planning to drag.
His teenage daughter cried out "Oh dad you're so Neanderthal,
it’s the year 208!" from behind her self imposed stone wall;
"And where is my flag?" he bellowed until his dark revelation,
it might, like our weapons, disappear in an Obama nation;
yet looking back to other presidents so many of them blew it,
their job he then concluded, even a Cavemanelli could do it!!

Very good and funny. So creative to put your frustration with the politics of today and the fear of where we are going in writting. Great job!
