Power Couple, Power Couplets

By Rick Horowitz

Hillary Billary,
Media royalty,
Microphone magnets
And Internet meat,
Hillary Billary
Found themselves squabbling,
Hillary boiled,
Then she turned up the heat.


Hillary Billary,
One was a president,
One a mere senator
Hungry for more,
Hillary had to be
Tough on security,
Any discrepancy
Just made her sore.


Hillary Billary,
When you've been president,
People still listen,
And Bill loved to talk.
Only one problem:
He said what he wanted,
Which sometimes embarrassed
The Sen. from N'Yawk.


Hillary Billary
Looked at those cargo ships
Coming from ev'rywhere
Into our ports.
Let Dubai manage things?
"No way!" said Hillary.
"Why not?" said Bill,
Which left Hill out of sorts.


Hillary Billary,
Hill put her foot down,
Read Bill the riot act,
Told him what gives:
"You don't say anything
Till I approve of it!"
Bill said he'd check with her --
Chivalry lives!


Hillary Billary,
Spokesmen assuring us
Everything's settled,
He's given his vow,
No more pronouncements
That leave her there dangling,
He understands
That it's her moment now.


Hillary Billary,
She's the elected one,
She makes decisions
And he falls in line.
She says, "It's my turn!"
And he nods, "Of course, dear,"
He keeps his mouth shut
And ev'rything's fine.


Hillary Billary --
Soap opera? Comedy?
Ego? Ambition?
Banana peel? Fate?
She still believes
There's a chance of controlling him --
Next she'll be telling him
Who he can date!
