Madam President's News Briefing

She was shocked at so many deaths.

Madam President’s News Briefing

 

By Elton Camp

 

The outcome of the election wasn’t expected

It was over and it was she who’d been elected

 

As soon as Madam Prez’s term in office did begin

It was a team of competent advisors she brought in

 

One was about foreign relations and related stuff

In case seeing Russia from her yard wasn’t enough

 

Another was an expert American history advisor

About the past events of the nation she’d be wiser

 

Another’s duty was to tell her how jobs to create

Since she’d learned quitting one wasn’t that great

 

Then on current events she was brought up to date

By an aide who told her what had happened of late

 

Finally he got to the last news item of that day

The following is the report he had to convey

 

“Today, two Brazilian soldiers were savagely killed

It was a terrorist group that their blood has spilled.”

 

A look of horror came onto the President’s face

“Why that is shocking, atrocious and a disgrace.”

 

The aide looked with surprise at so much dismay

She asked, “How many is a gazillion, by the way?”
