Lament for the Lovely Brooke White

Brooke White is Voted Off American Idol and Tears Flow Freely

Connie Wilson
Lament for the Lovely Brooke White

Oh, woe to all the "Idol" fans

Who cheered for poor Brooke White

She's voted off, she's gone for good.

It just was not her night.

It really was a sad departure;

Tears did freely flow

But when all was said and done,

It was time for her to go.

You can forget your words on one occasion,

Maybe even twice,

But when you do it three times running

You're gone,--- although you're "nice."

So good luck, Brooke. Your hair did shine,

Your smile was great as well.

But lousing up those lyrics, Girl,

It made them sound like hell.

    Thanks for publishing this! She was one of my favs this season.

    I totally disagree that she was weak compared to the rest of the field, and honestly don't think the lyrics slips had much to do with it. I do agree that she will have a shining career.
