RBG—rest in peace—
Was taken late last week.
A Supreme woman
Since ‘93
Gave this last decree:
Do not fill this vacancy
Until after the election.
Honored by some in the GOP—
Not named Mitt Romney—
This last call will face the wrath
Of one named Donald T.
On Saturday he’ll choose the one
To fill Ruth’s vacant seat.
supreme court
7.10.20 – Examining a Financial Disaster
In the shadow of a crippled nation
A small man defends his wealth.
It does not interrupt ovation
Coming only from himself.
6.19.20 – The Plural of Child is Childs (A Haiku)
Say I’m a Dreamer,
But I’m not. Dreamer childs are,
Says the Supreme Court.
4.14.20 – Dan and Jill
Dan and Jill
Went up the hill
For a chance to win a seat
On the Supreme Court
Of Wisconsin (of course)
But only one would be beat.
The incumbent, reserved,
Is known to conserve
While the challenger is known to progress.
The voters prevailed,
Largely voting by mail,
And the liberal came out ahead.
4.7.20 – Election Day is Finally Here!
Election day is finally here!
A day in which to live in fear
For your life or for the vote you cast
You have to choose, you cannot pass.
The Badger State will vote today
As the lonely state that didn’t sway
In its conviction to put lives at risk
As Republicans quickly dismissed
Any chance at vote postponement
Just so Dan Kelly can win appointment
To a court of justices that rejected plea
From Evers for democracy.
Election day is finally here!
Two months too soon with too much fear.
This Is Just to Say
