 What rhymes with gay

Last week Obama said his position had evolved
People could marry, no matter the genders involved
It was the same thing Biden said a few days before
And the issue was something Obama could no longer ignore
So he went on ABC to announce his new belief
To some it was a dark day of sin to others a relief
And others just wondered how this move would play
At the ballot box in November on Election Day

Obama told ABC News that he now believed gay marriage should be legalized by the states. While the statement was in no way legally binding it could have broad implications in the same sex marriage debate and this year’s presidential contest.

That’s made a situation sticker than honey
 
 
JP Morgan Chase posted staggering losses of $2 billion dollars, mainly due to risky moves by their trading division. Many executives have already resigned.

But others’ debt is making it go awry
Twinkle twinkle Merkel star
How I wonder how you are
 
Greece’s unity government sat on the wall
On May 6th they had a great fall
All the politicians and diplomat men
Couldn’t put it back together again
