Comment Rhymes
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011From commenter H. Rearden:
Meet Michael West of Mississippi
He could match bite marks to teeth, infamously.
But his bluff has been called,
Yet the DA’s still enthralled
And people languish in jail, innocently.
And from commenter SJE:
Steven Hayne runs an autopsy shop
processing body parts all day non-stop
he’ll do any deed
prosecutors need
coz he always finds for the copsMichael West can tell from a bite
if a perp is black or white
their SAT score
height, address, and what’s more
he is 100% right.
This is why I blog.
Perhaps an award of some sort is in order?
My vote goes to SJE – the meter is great, and … the SAT score line is priceless!
There was a man from Mississippi
Who could play with teeth infinitely
Making them match any ol’ crime scene
As he angled for the government’s green.
Commenters H Rearden and SJE
Thought posting in limericks was funny
They created a fad
With imitations quite bad
Like this one, which deserves a taser stunny
A DA who thought justice a pain,
had the sense to call in Steven Hayne,
‘He’s a miracle-man,
and his genius can,
put whoever we want in the frame’*
*You may think this doesn’t rhyme, but I can call in 2 experts from Mississippi who will prove that it does.
Radley J. Balko
Dogged pursuit of justice
Corey Maye is free
(Insert Radley’s real middle initial, as long as it’s not W.)
In the dark, muddy heart of the Deep South
Lived a man quite enamored with perp’s mouths
His fibs about biting
Should lead to much smiting
But alas, ….
Damn it, nothing else rhymes with “south.”
