Appalachian Man

South Carolinians, give me a break! If you were my students, you’d fail. You’ve given your nod to the lout who once hiked On the fake “Appalachian Trail.” A governor gone to a place no one knew With his staffers in fear for his life, Had to later admit that his hike was a lie To help hide his “true love” from his wife. Though that dastardly deed left some angry and hurt, His constituents seemed to excuse him; And for Congress, enough of those voters came back – Fifty-five percent opted to choose him. Yes, other politicos lied and had sex (With a president leaving a stain!), Yet those voters for Sanford had better beware For this guy’s surely pulling your chain!
