finding out I am kin to Bill Clinton


Bill Clinton’s Lost Cousin

Sam Adams
Visa chief in Mumbai
Was flying back to the States
And was pleasantly surprised
To be upgraded to first class

He sat down and found
His seatmate
Was former President Bill Clinton

They started chatting
And Sam told Bill Clinton
Of his mother’s Arkansas connection

She grew up in North Little Rock
As a child of one of the lost tribes
Of the Cherokees, called the black Irish
As well as hill folks back in the day

She asked for
her maiden name
He told him

“Aldrige”

Bill laughed and said

Well, it seems we are distant kin
I have cousins from Little Rock
Named Aldrige

And I am a member
Of the lost tribe
Of the Cherokee nation too.

They chatted for a while
And bonded
In the end, he offered him
A job.

At the Clinton Foundation
And Sam decided to go for it

And joined his cousin
In NYC
