Paean (pee-uh n)

Noun

    1. Any song of praise, joy, or triumph.

    2. A hymn of invocation or thanksgiving to Apollo or some other ancient Greek deity.


Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.

Hillary would never sing a paean to the peons, not when the only value she sees in the little, unimportant working people is giving her someone to pee on.

My internist friend sent me this last night it's entirely plausible. I think it's worth disseminating...

A Paean To Hillary:

(As paeans are most often sung, to the tune of “La Donna Mobile)

La Madam Hillary
Voice harsh and shrillery
I’m shocked that you are still
Campaigning while you’re ill.
We still remember
Your left wing agenda
It’s harder to disguise
Than those thunder thighs
Coughing to your doom
Go-—to your room!
Find somewhere else to
Double park your broom!

I still don’t understand
How Bernie passed the buck
You must think that we all
fell from a turnip truck
Those who oppose you
Somehow, they wind up dead.
(Or missing, like those tax
Records beneath the bed!)
No White House for you!
Don’t you even dare!
And while you at it
RETURN the Silverware!

(c 1995 with 2016 updates, LTOS)

Good grief! Is this the doctor that the Dems are trying to discredit? Everybody should see this video, but few will have the patience to sit through 19 min. More’s the pity.

Ti: The video is no paean to Hillary. It’s a must see.

The Main street Media ignores us peons
And allows Hillary to play on
The lefts hate
For making America great
While they write Clinton soaring paeans.

That’s the votes of peons; they don’t count. In the literal sense, their votes really may not count, not if it’s close enough at the polls that SEIU workers and other Obama minions can adjust the totals.

Still good news though.
