A Bit Flabbergasted

“No way!” he gasped and fell to his knees
As he gasped at the news and what he’d heard.
It came like a bolt from out of the blue
Delivered on Friday in one loud word

He never saw it coming
You could see it in his eyes.
When Sarah’s name was mentioned
It had taken him by surprise.

His eyes bugged out, his voice went flat
His jaw dropped to the floor.
He had that look of a man
Who was not happy anymore

Obama looked aghast,
Astonished and astounded,
Stupefied, amazed,
Bedazzled and dumbfounded.

To say that he was thunderstruck,
Does not give the right impression.
Obama showed fear with tears in his eyes.
Thunderstruck with fear is the right expression.

We are talking big time thunderstruck,
As well as struck by lightning.
The look of shock that filled his face
Was absolutely frightening.

What knocked his socks off, bowled him over?
Her first name’s Sarah for a little clue.
Can you imagine how he felt
Now that he was in such a stew?

But there he stood for a long, long while
Seeing his dream of a Socialist America blasted
And destroyed by a redneck from Alaska.
Yes, I’d say he was a bit flabbergasted!
