TAKING STOCK (Bill Clinton leaving office)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #25

                          







formally over spoken

a man with his mouth in a sling

leaving gracefully

the confines of such

national stress

admiration anymore

comes cheap

before the heedless

he has bowed

a soft spoken confident

being scurried out the back door

by the law of the land

he will be one of the most

remembered no doubt

but as a well loved hard working

over publicized bafoon

a man who let his zipper steal

any dignity of office he might

have once been able to lay claim to

you can bet the state of ARKANSAS

itself that the word LEWINSKY

will never publicly cross his lips

again

so in these final moments left

let us stop and hum

Hail To (the good ole boy) Chief!

one last time!

as I write this

I almost miss the strain

of him playing his sax!
