Ding Dong

to speak ill of the dead--I'm told--is crass
so when Scalia died, I held my tongue
let history attest he was an ass
whose oral arguments were packed with dung
McConnell wants his bench to languish, cold
despite the Constitution's language clear
the whole judiciary put on 'hold'
neck-down paralysis election year
his simple answers to questions complex
defied the founders' sense of equity
like rights of women weren't in the text
and only landed gentry count as "free"
but sticking with what mother said I should
you say "Scalia's dead" and I say "good"
