Exaggeration
Being sung about Hillary to the Burke-Van Heusen standard
"Imagination"
(Imagination is funny. It makes a cloudy day sunny.)

Exaggeration comes easy,
Makes both of the Clintons look sleazy,
Claiming what makes more honest folks queasy,
As she cons me and you.

Exaggeration by Clinton
Goes beyond casually hintin'
To cases where she ends up mintin'
Things that she didn't do,
That aren't true.

Can't we tell her that we've had enough
Of her made-up stuff?
If she loses, tough –
We don't need another Bush,
Or prevaricating bit of fluff,
Like her.

Both the Irish and Chinese
Admit she played hostess at high teas
Where her role was to shoot the breeze
Just as I'd chat with you –
And yet she won't say she's wrong,
Or "Adieu".
