Twas the night before Tookie's execution ....


Twas the night before Christmas and all through San Quentin,
The crips were protesting, and liberals were ventin'.

The cyanide hung by the chamber wth care, in hopes that the reaper soon would be there.


The inmates were nestled all snug in bed ;
except for Old Tookie, who was soon to be dead.

And me with my beer mug, dressed warm in my flannell, had curled up to watch it, on the Fox News Channel.

I set up my TIVO to record the news station, and thoroughly loved the momentous occasion.


It seemed lady justice had gotten her way, and that there would be one less savage today.

When outside the jail there arose such a clatter, the cameras had turned to see what was the matter.


When what to my civilized eyes did appear, but a lineup of actors, all liberal, half queer.

The misguided freaks drew some curious looks, as they proclaimed his innocence; clutching his books.

The tears then dribbled from Sarandon's eyes, as she nominated him again for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The actors were tethered to an ACLU sleigh, all towing the line of the urban decay.

On Asner, on Penn, on liberal cop-haters,
On Sharpton, on Jesse and other race-baiters.

Then at 3:01 all curled up like a beetle, Tookie cried like a bitch as they gave him the needle.

When up from the actors there arose such a cry, they had failed in their mission, and Tookie DID DIE !!

I heard Bill O'Reilly say, as I turned out my light, Merry Christmas to all ... there was justice tonight !!

I always tell myself that I should not rejoice when a vicious killer dies by execution (or any other way) and yet your truly ingenious poem was really good to read. I favor a death penalty -but we are not supposed to dance on a grave - and yet I think this "Tookie" richly deserved to die. Heck! I would have shot him myself!

I thought I hated poetry, but I sure liked that! Nice to see justice carried out for a change, but we still hold the record here in Texas. I do wish (honestly) that we could go back to public hangings on the courthouse grounds--wouldn't that send a crystal clear message to the hoodlums!
