Analysis of Watergate
Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)
White house, the best
house in the Nation.
Something is bad,
a bother weighs his sensation.
Big people are sometimes unfair,
Nixon do he care,
he’s like a pear,
McCord do he care?
or is he gonna hide
in his underwear.
Quick you decide!
you know what Nixon recorded,
should he get his peace and
be rewarded?
First lady, maybe your
in it too, cause you
wipe your tears with a shoe.
Nixon will get his part as well,
the fool was foolish enough to tell.
Important men are sometimes slobs,
cause they don’t have to look for jobs.
