Sour Grapes
She never thought she'd ever lose the race
The other candidates trailed far behind
She never thought HE'D beat her for first place
With pundits frankly sure he'd lost his mind
She'd planned to speak the night of the elections
Her friends and fam'ly come from near and far
She'd take the country in new directions
Her face would shine as brightly as a star
The numbers never lie; they said she'd lost
Grown men sank down, and they began to moan
She pushed back tears; her voice she dipped in frost
The race she thought was hers --- How she did groan!
Today she still complains that she was robbed
Her loyal base yet stunned---they sob and sob
