It's easier to make fun of a first lady than for a first lady to have fun. The scrutiny is ferocious.

The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.

Hillary Clinton Poem - Hard Luck First Lady

hard luck madam first lady
the way the polls go

it is easier to be first lady
than Mr President

the world is singing another
tune to the White House

hard luck madam first lady
the way the polls go

the votes are out but you've
made no headway

the votes are out but you've
not made any headway

shall we just call it a day
or go into another day

There You Stood Naked

You were caught completely naked trying to have sex with another lady,
For your doors were forced opened! !
And there you stood naked before the law.

Who should have handed you over amicably?
Is it the general populace or the pivotal of your act?
Or, the huge crowd of professional mourners around you! !
For you killed the first lady by raping her;
And, her pre-burial service will be remembered as well on this case,
Because, you were caught completely naked trying to have sex with another young lady!

I see the first lady as another means to keep a president from becoming isolated.

Amelia Earharts Last Fligh

Just a ship out on the ocean, a speck against the sky,
Amelia earhart flying that sad day;
With her partner, captain noonan, on the second of july
Her plane fell in the ocean, far away.
Theres a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away-ay-ay in a land that is fair.
Happy landings to you, amelia earhart,
Farewell, first lady of the air.
Half an hour later her sos was heard,
Her signals weak, but still her voice was brave.
In shark-infested waters her aeroplane went down that night
In the blue pacific to a watery grave.
Theres a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away-ay-ay in a land that is fair.
Happy landings to you, amelia earhart,
Farewell, first lady of the air.
Now you heard my story bout this awful tragedy,
We all pray shell fly home safe again.
In years to come, though others blaze a trail across the sea,
Well neer forget amelia and her plane.

My First Lady

The First Lady

We studied together
Up to the middle school level
In an infamous board high school
As closely sitting classmates

I had some peculiar
Interest in her
And half of the time
Only staring at her

She always stood first
But, I didn't envy at her
When she was found to be sad or upset
It instantly tuned me to her line of distress

Under the influence of movies that time
I threw some poetic verses at her
She was so generous and tactful indeed

Any first lady can do whatever they want to do. In this country, people expect them to work on whatever they want or to have a career of their own.

Meeting Equals

Meeting Equals

White haired, the queen skin as bee wax, she
had a honeyed smile when shaking hands with
the president and his wife; how far they have
come she had said to her husband only this
morning. The presidents, the most powerful
family in the world, wonder if the children are
aware of that, and first lady, from a street wise
lawyer, to a wife whose job was to look pretty.
There was a great glow in the air, new time
meets old time and the past was hidden behind
a smile; however there was a question rumbling
in the first lady’s mind, but she pushed it back
for now: “why, it asked, are all the white folks so
exceedingly nice to us?

The memory of that scene for me is like a frame of film forever frozen at that moment: the red carpet, the green lawn, the white house, the leaden sky. The new president and his first lady.
