<p>Contrary to the crowd-drawing smooth delivery from the teleprompter today, a young Obama wrote some…much cuter stuff. Deemed “semi-cruel exercise” :D</p>

<p>One example.</p>

<p>Underground</p>

<p>Under water grottos, caverns</p>

<p>Filled with apes</p>

<p>That eat figs.</p>

<p>Stepping on the figs</p>

<p>That the apes</p>

<p>Eat, they crunch.</p>

<p>The apes howl, bare</p>

<p>Their fangs, dance,</p>

<p>Tumble in the</p>

<p>Rushing water,</p>

<p>Musty, wet pelts</p>

<p>Glistening in the blue.</p>
