My thanks to this article at Financial Samurai for this useful info for today's young people.

She claimed she had Cherokee cheekbones
Put it on her applications
Took a slot from her pseudo-kin
The Academics let her in


She claimed it was for her social life
But it now is just causing strife.
She dropped the ruse when she made it big
On asbestos and a Harvard gig


Cherokee partial
Cherokee slice
So proud she claimed
But we know she lied


One thirty second part of her
Was enough red blood to pretend she’s poor
Her lack of ethics has her hung
But still she’s able to teach our young.


‘Lizabeth Warren
Liberal Lies
You’ve been found out
Still you rationalize.


And while her campaign is a wreck,
Bay Staters look to re-elect
re-elect
re-elect
re-elect
re-elect

THE STORY OF RHODESIA
Here's the story of Rhodesia.
A land both fair and great.
On the 11th of November - an independent state.
This was much against the wishes of certain governments.
Whose leaders tried to break us down, and make us all repent.


Chorus
But we're... all Rhodesians and we'll fight through thick and thin.
We'll keep this land a free land, stop the enemy coming in.
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi, till that river's running dry.
And this mighty land will prosper for Rhodesians never die.


They can send their men to murder, they can shout their words of hate.
But the cost of keeping this land free will never be too great.
For our men and boys are fighting for the things that they hold dear.
This land and all its people will never disappear.


'Cos we're.... all Rhodesians etc......


We'll preserve this little nation, for our children's children too.
For once you're a Rhodesian, no other land will do
We will stand forth in the sunshine, with the truth upon our side.
And if we have to go alone, we'll go alone with pride.


'Cos we're... all Rhodesians, etc.
