Twitter users had some fun taking jabs at the lengthy inaugural poem from Richard Blanco this afternoon:
I don’t care for this poem.

The spirit of unity has been wrecked over that poem.

This dude reciting this poem at the inauguration must have no life. He’s been talking longer than Obama’s speech and his poem is trash #stop

DID PETER JACKSON DIRECT THIS POEM?!?! END THIS! #inaug2013

Looks like Eric Cantor shared those same sentiments:
Cantor cutaway of puzzled look during poetry reading was priceless … “Look, is this poem going on and ON?”#inaug2012 cc @richedsondc
