There’s so much more to Hillary
Her ambition is no mere velleity
But it’s such a harder sell, you see,
To say, “You all must come to hell with ME!”

Obama brought hopey-change gaiety
To the White House, with naïve velleity
It didn’t help with Iran
Maybe we don’t unnerstan’
He’s the priest and we’re merely the laity
