Seconds Anyone?
Being sung to the Bobbie Gentry song
"Ode To Billy Joe"
(…today Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge)

The early ev'ning news was crowing,
    "It's her second Hookergate!"
About the time that Ma was busy
    scraping the last plate,
And Pa again was fuming 'bout how a
    Super Delegate
Had to be as blind as Spitzer is
    to think she'd pull her weight,
While a greying bubble-head fresh from the
    famed Ted Williams fridge,
Geraldine Ferraro, burned her second
    Democratic bridge.

Years before she'd demonstrated
    Walter Mondale's lack:
A Geraldine Ferraro who would be
    smarter, male and black.
Pa says that he remembers her,
    a girlish bit of fluff –
Living proof that Hillary's
    not blessed with the right stuff,
Nor was the greying bubble-head fresh from the
    famed Ted Williams fridge,
The Geraldine Ferraro who's burned her second
    Democratic bridge.

Ma sent Pa outside to finish with his
    raking of the yard,
Knowing how upset Pa gets at
    Hillary's race card.
"She's all the time denying it's been
    anything she's said,
Her underlying message clear:
    Obama should drop dead",
While the greying bubble-head fresh from the
    famed Ted Williams fridge,
Geraldine Ferraro, burns her second
    Democratic bridge.

Pa, a Waspish Democrat, swears
    that come November there's no way
He could vote again for what these Clinton
    people pay and say.
Meanwhile Brother, who's a Teamster on the
    Pennsylvania Pike,
Says Bill's as bad as Spitzer and
    Hillary's just like
The greying bubble-head fresh from the
    famed Ted Williams fridge,
Geraldine Ferraro, who's burned her second
    Democratic bridge.
