White House Rod

The wife of the President, yes, that I am,
Otherwise known as Lady Hilary "Rodham" Clinton.
Mom, lawyer, a political figure all three,
None like her, the white House did see.

Know me as the "Rod-that-I-am",
Intent on work, to get this health plan,
Universal, cost effective for you and me,
Fair, accessible; just wait, you'll see.

Like hell, my husband and I fought the crime bill,
It was tough, not easy, but still
Thanks, come, work with me and President Clinton,
Halo! Do vote, till Universal care is won.

Cancer, heart attack are now number three,
Aids another killer, confirmed C.D.C.,
But crime; killing is number one disease,
Yes, down with bullets! Now health care please!

America, you'll need to think and stare
At times, occurrences, and seek Universal care,
To secure our families, businesses and country,
Vote Universal Health Care, for our economy.

The Rock Of Arkansas

For you the rocker of Rock, Arkansas,
A revolutionized administration by far,
Has surpassed others, a tough long war
Cleaning up the economic mess, we see and saw.

Mean and relentless Republicans fight,
Making decisions to squeeze what's right,
For our great country, that might
Sink under previous reigns; a prolonged plight.

All hate change, but what's left to be done,
Takes strength to forget; let bygones be gone,
Bury gridlock, plug, and now move on,
With the great President Bill Clinton.

Our first lady Rodham, Hilary,
Her new position many did query,
But today like a wise legal fairy,
She'll cure our health, and the worry.

My Baby

Oh, hi little one so innocent and true,
Of all babies you are my true blue,
Your smiles are many, your cries so few,
I always thank God, for having you.
