Another Disgraced President (Clinton)

Impeachment with reason and

            resolve

The testimony devastating, the law

            broken

He, the beholder and guardian of the law

Lied, purged the personal

that’s the flow

No stealing, no wars, fantastic leader

Cheated on his wife, covered up

            lied the nation and the reader

Caught in the act of fondling

Sent regret, admitted shame

Censure, reprimand, diminished soon his

            fame

Still he’s not infamous, vindicated

To world and child to lie is wrong

Deny the lie, get caught now plead

a tragic song

Mercy and forgiveness are now the

masses choice

The  senate, solemnly now votes

            must listen to their inner voice

Bravo great pleader Mr. President

Your knowledge, perseverance in the people

Do approve and assert

Your speeches, legislation and divisiveness resent

You brilliant, knowable, personable speaker

An ever charming talent

A gem, persuasive , hard to replace

Plead guilty, move on

            Pertains  in any case

Why should man who has

            100 victories

Be soon removed with failure of but one

We on the stage, tradition soon

            often leader remover

            political life undone

Meak final line Mr. President

The nation’s millions bid you well

            defect

A well deserved second chance

You are their friend, cooled off

            a close and warm man

Under the stars and heaven will all know

A trust that’s broken is a heavy blow

Still friend, doer, leader

            most of all

Win over those who voted for you

Finish your term, never again beseech

            your call

There are believers

Overlook, forgive deceivers

For you have won and lost

Impeach for lying is the higher cost

Go back to work, meet with your cabinet

From now on be more careful

            with whom you go to bed.

Control your  urges learn

Dishonesty and sexual enticement spurn

You still have 30 �" 40 years to go

We loved your exhibition, leadership

Worldwide, pragmatic most enticing show.
