There once was a Senator from Nantucket
If he had liposuction, theyd need a big bucket
Chappaquidick, Waitress Sandwich, and a dog named Splash
Corrupt to the core, his gills stuffed with cash
When he croaked, most of the nation said _ _ _ _ it
(I composed the second line)
Here is my own composition:
There once was a Senator Ted
Who wanted a girl in his bed
He went off the side
Of that bridge and she died
Cause he had to save his damn head
I am not inclined to participate in this mass hysteria up here. If he had died and been buried, I probably wouldn’t say squat to anyone. But having to hear this stuff against my will is really pissing me off. If you even pass by a television in a gas station, there is some breathless reporter talking about what a dedicated and tireless public servant he was.
I’m not having any part of it. If people want to canonize the guy, power to them. I don’t have to play along.
