"Underground"

Under water grottos, caverns
Filled with apes
That eat figs.
Stepping on the figs
That the apes
Eat, they crunch.
The apes howl, bare
Their fangs, dance,
Tumble in the
Rushing water,
Musty, wet pelts
Glistening in the blue.

--Barack Obama

I totally, really, you know, relate, and I am moved, and think it's his best one yet...

Do we have any audio or video of the POTUS reading it at an open mic?

At least, not where I found it (Obamapedia.org).
