Oh! What cases Mueller found!

- COLIN MCENROE

“We chose those words carefully, and the work speaks for itself.”

– Special Counsel Robert Mueller, insisting that his final report contains everything he’s prepared to say. Investigat­ions!

This is my last day. I’m off to Great Places! I’m off and away.

I’ve made my report And I’ve said what I said.

I am not coming back. Just consider me dead. I assembled a lot

Of the facts that you need.

What I plainly forgot Is how few of you read. You yammer and tweet And you huff and you snort

It would really be sweet If you’d read the report OH!

THE CASES YOU’D FIND!

I found out so much Tell me where to begin. With Manafort, Cohen Or Michael T. Flynn? No, first let us search For a story of gremlins Who hack at our backs From their perch

In the Kremlin.

Way back in ’16, When you thought you were voting,

The gremlins were gurgling, gasping and gloating.

And meddling, peddling lies so unbearable

We wound up with President Ivan the Terrible

There was so much to say,

There was so much to do, That I laid out the case As Thing One and Thing Two.

Thing One is that tale Of the agents who scoot in

And substitute Lenin or Trotsky or Putin

For our JFKs, LBJs, FDRs

None of them perfect; at least they were ours.

Thing Two is what gives me

A headache so splitting, For you can’t pin a crime

On a president sitting, Which leads to his shameless

Pronouncem­ents I dread so.

If I found him blameless Then I would have said so.

Did Donald obstruct me?

I’ll give you three guesses.

He bloviates, blusters, Lies and b.s.es

He tried to elude me, Confuse me and throw me

He sat on Jeff Sessions And ousted Jim Comey. And then came the worst

Since this whole thing began.

He ordered my sacking By Donald McGahn OH!

THE CASES I FOUND! There was evidence near,

There was evidence far. In the end, though, I fear

It came down to Bill Barr.

When they made him AG

Then our confidence sank.

We pegged him as cagey, Knew he’d go in the tank.

This isn’t a joke.

I have no sense of humor.

The fate of the state’s

With Pelosi and Schumer

So be your name Murphy

Or Courtney or Himes, Or Rosa DeLauro With which nothing rhymes,

Or Klobuchar, Gillibrand, Larson or, lastly, Manchin or Whitehouse Or Cornyn or Grassley From the Lake of the Ozarks

To the sands of Nevada, There’s a truth even Seinfeld Could not yadda-yadda There’s a thing you should do

If the king is unfit; If that statement is true, Then you must not acquit.
