In the spirit of Maya Angelou, the recasting of "Candles in the Wind" for Hillary.
"Vote for Hillary Diane!"
Though I never knew her at all
She has the grace to hold herself
While all her staffers crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into her brain
They set her on the treadmill
And they made her change her name

And it seems to me she lives life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing which ideology to cling to
When the primaries set in
And I would have liked to have known her
But I was just a kid
Her chances for nomination flickered out long before
The legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role she ever played
The White House made her a superstar
And pain was the price she paid
'Specially when Bill lied
Oh the press still hounds her
All the papers had to say
Was that Hillary stood behind her dude

Goodbye Hillary Diane
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our First Lady

-- inspired by Sir Elton John

1. Elton does his best work when his blonde muse is deceased.
Shattered dreams are just not as gripping

2. Not bad BC
It seems you have a penchant for the parodic.

3. I'll be reading this at the local Starbuck's tonight.
I don't think seating will be a problem. ;)
