Now she’s dropping out in a shit storm.

She joins a list of famous Minnesotans,

all of whose candidacy was verboten.

Harold Stassen, Gene McCarthy, Hubert Humphrey, all

lost but none were quite so bad as Walter Mondale’s fall.

Now she’ll throw support to Joe,

then go back into the snow,

root for Vikings, Timberwolves and Twins.

Back to Senate she will trod,

hoping against hope, by god,

that the person we have chosen wins.
