THE NIGHT BEFORE FITZMAS (A Poem)

(I just finished writing this. I hope you enjoy it! Please feel free to share it if you do!)

THE NIGHT BEFORE FITZMAS

Twas the night before Fitzmas, and in the White House
Every one was scared shitless, and Bush was quite soused
The indictments were hanging like Damoceles' sword
As verminous oxen prepared to be gored

The perps were all sleepless, curled fetal in bed
While visions of prison cells loomed in each head
And Dick in his jammies, and George in his lap
Were sweating and swearing and looking like crap

When out on the web there arose such a clatter
The blogs and the forums were buzzing with chatter
Away to the PC Rove ran like a flash
He booted his browser and cleared out his cache

The rumors that flew through the cold autumn air
Made Dubya shiver with angry despair
When what to his horror-filled eyes did he spy?
A bespectacled man with a brown suit and tie!

With an impartial manner that gave Bush the shits
He knew in a moment it must be St. Fitz!
With unwavering voice, his indictments they came
He cleared out his throat and he called them by name:

Now Scooter, Now Libby,
Now Blossoming Turd,
Now Cheney, dear Cheney,
Yes, you are the third
To the bench of the court
Up the steps, down the hall
Now come along, come along,
Come along, all!

He then became silent, and went right to work
He filed the indictments and turned with a jerk
And pointing his finger at justice's scale
Said, "The people be served, and let fairness prevail."

He then left the room, to his team gave a nod
And the sound could be heard of a crumbling facade
And we all did exclaim, as he faded from sight
"Merry Fitzmas to all, and to all a good night!"

Virtually PERFECT meter, which is what is hardest for most of us (most of us can do rhyme, but meter is tough!)

Thanks for the chuckle. I wore my adrenalin out, waiting for the indictments to come down, so your poem was exactly what I needed.

12. Great bedtime story....

My favorite part
The perps were all sleepless, curled fetal in bed
While visions of prison cells loomed in each head
And Dick in his jammies, and George in his lap
Were sweating and swearing and looking like crap

Sweet dreams....

14. This is close to perfection! K & R, and I'm sending it to friends and

family. I especially liked the last two verses (but all were good.)

He then became silent, and went right to work
He filed the indictments and turned with a jerk
And pointing his finger at justice's scale
Said, "The people be served, and let fairness prevail."

He then left the room, to his team gave a nod
And the sound could be heard of a crumbling facade
And we all did exclaim, as he faded from sight
"Merry Fitzmas to all, and to all a good night!

24. Wonerful, Wonerful and a 1 ana 2.....

What a way to mix the old and new traditions!

I pray for Fitz a lot. Does he have enough body guards? Will they go into martial law to avoid justice? Where's dickie boy hiding?

27. Many kudos to Daryl, the bard at the gate

who vanquished the grinches, and sang of their fate:
that treasonous crew who by Christmas will be
locked safely in jail so the world can be free.
And then to my wondering mind he dispelled
the last of my glooms, that they won't get Rumsfeld.
