Phantom of the Oprah
Oprah made a mistake,
Invited the Phantom to her show,
Well, damn, wouldn't you know,
He entered on a lowered chandeliere,
Masked, in fine voice,
I think she then doubted her choice,
A certain sinister air about him
A madman, the opposite side of
The same coin, housing genius
On the other...so closely
interwined they are...
For the first time, Oprah
Did not know what to say,
But the Phantom had things to sing,
This would be his day...
The masked face was a phenom
He swept all others away
Sadly, he will not replace her,
He hates the light of day.
