They said I was loyal
all those years
that I must’ve shed
a river of tears
My suffering
was saint-like
who could blame me
for taking a hike?
I’ve paid
my dues
it’s about time
I was free
Look at the news
everyone agrees.
no one should
be expected to endure
what happened to me
I should
be given
a medal of honor
Some symbol
of my valor...
Even go down
in history
as a
Hall of Fame-er.
My lawyer
was the best
in his field
he knew exactly
where to hit
For inside of
a few days
it was dust
that she bit.
I was right,
they told me so
and in my defense
I had thousands
chanting for her
to Go Go Go!
It was easy
it was applauded
so many agreeing
I’m a hero
and
as such
I was
lauded
And so it goes
I won
she’s done
I committed
the perfect crime
how exquisitely,
how utterly,
how brilliantly
sublime.
Marvelous Brenda, though I had expected more of a twist at the end. Perhaps the title gave it away a bit? ? ? Otherwise it was great. Good rhyme and rythm.
