Barack and the beanstalk – satirical
Once upon a time in the magical land of the Yankees…..
So, we all know the classic tale of Barack and the Beanstalk. We all know that it begins with just a few magical beans from an old man in exchange for a cow. This part is all very straight forward so I won’t bore you with the details.
