Out Double Door and Did Disappear

Out Double Door and Did Disappear

In an awkward position I was once situated
When  to some  people I  had prevaricated
With  my many  ideas that  were  outdated
And major changes in my life contemplated.

Closer and closer closing date now became
For me to find all  my fine  fortune and fame
It was then that I decided to start taking aim
Wondering on who should I place the blame.

So Hillary or Hiawatha just who would it be?
Lingering  like a lunatic  looking for only me
To place vote on that set whole country free
Felt sorry for those dying at Wounded Knee.

It was then that I had heard very many cries
Of  those  who  were  starting to sympathize
We should let our by and bys be by and bys
And then again reality begin to finally realize.

Of all of my many mistakes I had lost count
That to many seemed to be a huge amount
While people in Congress were sitting here
Went out double door and all did disappear.
