In Court a Lot
While touring the JFK Library at UMass yesterday
I snapped a pic of President Kennedy, long past.
Now watching news of more recent yesterday
I detected ’tween then and now a stark contrast.
And so on this bright and sunny Boston day
I revise an old show tune to elephants and ass:
A song, to be sung to the tune of “Camelot”,
as a tune sung by Richard Harris in the 1967 movie of the same name:
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
Civil War rebellions must not burn too hot,
and there’s a legal limit to the rebels here
in Court, a lot.
Yes, here in Chutkan’s court we shall see Justice
as prosecutor’s case reveals a lot
in evidence of the joker’s private plot here
in Court: a lot.
We see the wheat set apart from chaff here
as official duties fade behind a private plot
‘cuz a President has no business breaking laws here
in Court, a lot.
Supremes had made an order in their Court here:
As Merlin’s magic likewise had begot:
Immunity’s woven from whole cloth here
in Court, a lot.
So go ask Jack to make a list here
to separate official acts from those that are not
Cuz there’s legal limit to trump’s plot here
in Court a lot.
So Jack got busy in his task here
of culling private acts from those that are not
depending on who was called to smear
our Rule of Law, in Jan6 riots, so hot.
No President ought our Constitution smear
whether in private or official, he should not
but if Jack must spell it out so clear here
We believe he’ll give it all he’s got:
One hundred eighty special pages here,
of private acts on January 6th, so hot!
Insurrectionary gangs from far and near
having no official duties, so they fought!
Against our Capitol and DC police here
Where violence and killing ought be not
Cuz a Law was made a distant moon ago here
in Court a Lot!
