Capitol Fever
I will go down to DC again, to the crowded Mall and the Pool,
And all I ask is a mandate and a Hill without a fool, And some calm polls from the newsrooms and the end of the correction, And the great luck of a swan song before the next election. January 2001
From the Daily Whale.
Parody of the opening of
“Sea Fever” by
John Masefield.
If only my prediction had been right.
