...And on what planet?

(A nursery rhyme sung to the tune of “Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?”)

Oh where, oh where were those Birther folks born– The folks who constantly say That Obama’s not An American lad? Which planet sent them our way?

Whichever planet produced folks like that Just has to be out of sight. But no matter whether It’s near or far, I’ll bet its leader is white.
