Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Basic Training

Mr. Maher, I was surprised -
One paragraph - you made some sense.
The President, as you advised,
Should have real life experience
Serving in the military,
To be the commander in chief,
To feel first hand what it's to be
In war, beyond a White House brief,
Beyond sitting in the war room,
As though another game of Risk,
Sending our children to doom
On a power play whim - tsk tsk!

Your mil to Obama, your champ,
Is that to pay for his boot camp?
