Hillary Elementary

Oh Hillary, dear Hillary what did I hear Your emails were given without any care The powers that be have relented this truth To empower your foes with the absence of couth Oh Hillary, dear Hillary what did you say More "glittering generalities" one could absorb in a day Just listening and knowing that the general facts Have no fidelity or sincerity when down to brass tacks Oh Hillary, dear Hillary your words should take heed Perverting their meaning by twisting their deed To make claims of human kindness with your heart fully filled With the ice of deceit and a soul that is nil Oh Hillary, dear Hillary you seem larger than life But the facts of the matter are way more than rife Your little mind, soul and heart is piteous at best To think you can fool all of us is one naive, shortsighted and ill-advised test! Oh Hillary, dear Hillary you're like a chick out of its nest Your posture cannot cure, nor your clothes deceive the best Of the denizens of state that require you to be strong When deep down inside you indistinctly don't belong.
