LETTER: Ballad praises Sarah

Ballad of Palin

(©2008 Bob Beckley parody lyric)

Have brain, will travel reads the card of a gov,

A bold, fearless leader when push comes to shove.

Her quick brain for hire heeds the winds of change,

A great choice for V.P. to a man called McCain.

Palin, Palin, glass ceiling breaks.

Palin, Palin, two thousand eight.

She travels on to the White House for us,

A record of ethics is her badge of trust.

There are campfire legends that Alaskans’ sing,

Of a woman with true grit, of a woman called Palin.

Palin, Palin, glass ceiling breaks,

Palin, Palin, two thousand eight

Glass ceiling breaks

Two thousand eight.

Hope you like it,

Bob Beckley

Nashville, Tenn.
