As Hillary’s poll numbers droop
There are no lengths to which she won’t stoop
After stepping in dog doo
One does what one has to
Just scrape her away with a “scroop”

Scroop
Every time Obama opens his mouth my ears hurt - it is a noise like scraping ones finger nails on a blackboard. Screech, and scroop, shudder and shrink, but Mrs. O is the most annoying.
To: SoothingDave
Christianity drives liberals mad.
Liberals mocking God is the latest fad.
ABC is living proof
Jesus they do spoof
That scroop is really quite sad.
