Climbed Mount Everest

Climbed Mount Everest

Well my mate can't wait to celebrate
Only worry about fate when we are late
If a disaster it still does turn into
We just might be among the very few.

Maybe we have to go and then hide
Before they start of the downhill slide
And in private we both must confess
We have ended in in one hell (heck) of a mess.

Currently way were are now situated
A little longer we should have waited
Before all of our money had been spent
And you decided to run for President.

Personally, thought I would have forgotten
To me whole deal seems very rotten
Some cute Republicans trying to confess
That I am responsible for all of this mess.

So had an idea as usual that is bright
Suppose I bug their phones every night
When times trail off and are gloomier
I could create an incredible rumor.

When times are sad and also very bad
Wouldn't each of you be terribly glad
I only did one thing that was worst;
Name is Hillary and climbed Mount Everest.

PS. 
Some people say I had committed a crime;
They said my poems took too much time.
