Do we need permission to copy the article from the Times----Obama's underground poem certainly bares his soul---

First an excerpt from the article-----

"Obama appears to have lopped about 9900 hours off that standard. In Dreams, he speaks of writing only the occasional journal entry and some "very bad poetry." He does not sell himself short on the poetry. From his undergraduate poem, "Underground":

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 possible, Obama's early prose showed less promise than his poetry. Although the Obama camp has been notoriously shy about releasing proof of Obama's assumed genius-SAT scores, LSAT scores, transcripts, theses-I was able to unearth three essays in print that predate Dreams."

A PARODY On Obama's Ape Poem by mj

Under wooded grottos, caverns

Filled with squirrels

That eat acorns.

Stepping on the acorns

That the squirrels

Eat, they crunch.

The squirrels howl, bare

Their fangs, dance . . ."
