circus leaving town

the brothers Bundy have been nabbed and jailed
and their insurgency will fade away
a bad idea that on its merits failed
we heard and laughed at what they had to say
the Waco siege debacle satisfied  
the fools who screamed for resolution quick
but innocents as well as guilty died
when Janet Reno carried the big stick
Loretta Lynch knows time will treat her well
the Sodhouse insurrection's got no legs
the hotheads will cool off in a strait cell
where we decant our social lees and dregs
as wannabe John Browns pack up their tents
the bird preserve slips back to somnolence
