Where the hell are my pyjamas?

by Ozymandias

"Where the hell are my pyjamas?"
bellowed my antiquated aunt.
"Stolen, no doubt, by those Obamas,
who won't return them, 'cos they can't!

Michelle has nicked my favourite nightie
for dancing on the White House lawns;
it's well known, she's so flighty,
she'll groove until the morning dawns!

Barack won't look so presidential
with my pyjama bottoms on,
parading through the residential
suburban streets of Washington!"

I tried to pacify Matilda,
explaining that this couldn't be,
but brooding on her plight had filled her
with viperish ferocity:

"I don't care if they live ten thousand
miles across the sea -
they broke into my house and
stole my best jarmies off of me!

It's 'cos they went to Copenhagen
for that there climate conference;
I s'pose they thought they'd get a bargain
by climbing up my wooden fence.

My 'jarmies, as you know, are flimsy,
and thereby prove a point:
this global warming ain't no whimsy -
we're heating up the joint!

By dancing in my flimsy frillies
and my multicoloured tights,
the Obamas give the rest the willies
in Denmark's winter nights.

For it must be hot as Hades
if the Obamas are thus clad
in skimpy 'jarmies of old ladies -
this'll soon become a fad!

Their ain't no level of depravity
to which Yankees will not stoop -
they'll defy the law of gravity,
they'll even slurp their green pea soup!

They must have swum the wide Pacific
to steal my 'jarmies from my bed!"
(Auntie then swore with words horrific
which had better not be said!)

She swore by holy Mother Mary
she would get her 'jarmies back;
her voice was thunderous and scary
and her countenance was black.

So I had to take some action
to save old Auntie from herself -
I searched, and found some pink pyjamas
in her bedroom, on a shelf.

"Are these yours?" I asked politely,
and she looked a bit shamefaced
and admitted that they might be,
and that they must have been misplaced.

So I keep track of Auntie's 'jarmies
nowadays, with greatest care,
'cos she's going bloody barmy,
and now she's lost her underwear....

    It's just a bit of silly fun! For some reason it occured to me that "Obama" rhymed with "pyjama", and I thought I would try to do something with it.
