release carries with it
an unconscionable sin
or so our numerous religions
would have one to believe
judicial waiver
in this old two for the public
pony case
could never have
even for one moment been
the best consideration
yet
laughably enough
but in a rather grim tone
I guess one could say
the den now seems to be coming
to the mole
though do be most wary
when nearest to home
for the fox is on the proverbial trot
(or should one rather supplement that
thought with say an elephant)
and though more often than not
politics make mean and messy bed partners
still
A good cigar
can cost a man an awful lot
namely his livelihood
