The Court

The Court, they report,
Will be coming up short
When Kennedy leaves
(Plans nobody can thwart).

We’ll see who will be
Chosen as nominee,
Surely someone divisive,
I can guarantee.

The fears that appear
From the left will steer clear
Of conservatives’ hopes
That the old days draw near.

This split, I submit,
Means we’ll all take a hit
As the country unravels;
A bad time to quit.
