above the law

House Speaker Hastert's lawyer dropped the trick
by calling an extraneous witness
to testify that Denny's not a dick
he let the jury stir the sordid mess
what one can testify, the next rebuts
that he's a pedophile seems beyond doubt
a fondler of his wrestler's dicks and nuts
when half the sordid details have come out
a banking violation seems a joke
when he's been violating teen-aged guys
his carcass should be rotting in the poke
at least until the happy day he dies
a trusted teacher's access to our schools
can't be a license to flout all our rules
