A Rattling Rhyme

SHE’s COMING AGAIN!

There’s a chill in the air
There’s a word on the street
Be afraid have a care
Put the children to sleep 
She was gone, bells were tolled
But the body’s not cold
For she’s coming again
Yes she’s coming again

It was safe to suppose
She was due to be crowned
Then a young wizard rose
Had them all spellbound
With a look really cool
Like a kid from high school
But she came back again
Yes she came back again
 
Then she’d surely reside
In a white stately home
She’d the right, qualified
With two X chromosomes 
She’d be in with a song
What could ever go wrong
She was coming again
She was coming again

But an old wizard now
With a strange style of hair
Took the stage took a bow
And with her almost there
She was pipped at the post
Cross the states, coast to coast
She was numbing again
And succumbing again 

Without power came the crash
Sans connections she’d plied
Then the flow of the cash
 Disappeared, nearly dried
So she needs to dispense
With some new influence
So she’s coming again 
Yes she’s coming again

Feel the chill in the air
Hear the word on the street
Be afraid have a care
Put the children to sleep 
So you thought she’d depart
With a stake through the heart
No she’s coming again
Yes she’s coming again
