"Decades later, when he shaped his mea culpa in Arkansas around the
line that his daddy never had to whup him twice for making the same
mistake, he was evoking a family relationship that never existed."
--David Maraniss in "The Clinton Enigma", page fifty.
Bastard in the lit'ral
sense is mostly mark of
birth.
Discipline
for fatherless is gospel*
here on
earth.
This is
not
the last time that
his version made
for mirth.
Must you wonder
why that
bastard skewed his
father's worth?
Drunken woman-beater was
his father's
main employ.
Prudence gained
from the corruption was their
common
ploy.
Charges laid
against the
boy should make
him reach for
sky.
Maybe he wil
run for pres. in
just another
try.
* Although Isaiah isn't strictly gospel and the bible doesn't specifically mention punishment of the fatherless, Proverbs 13:24 probably led to the modern art in "Spare the rod to spoil the child." a proverb that has permuted the meaning of "spoil" as in "deprive of justice" to the point where "spoiled" means "rotten or undisciplined".
