Who upchucked in many a pail.
He drank to excess,
And thought “No” meant “Yes.”
He now tells a slimy false tale.

Polygraphs he'd certainly fail
Instead of investigation
Rs turned to causation
It's the woman's fault, not the male!

With senators he got pissed
And his victims he dissed
This "jurist" should be going to jail

The jurist from Yale
Will certainly fail
And will cry a tear
Into his large beer
As they take him away
On that fine day.
He'd better not fail,
To pay for his bail
Or it is off to jail

Whose calendar told quite a tale
He went out for skis
With Bernie and Squi
Now his alibi looks like a fail.

There once was a jurist from Yale
Who swore that he would prevail
Then the sins of his past
Came furious and fast
And dropped him on his third rail

There once was a frat boy from Yale
Through the Senate he thought he would sail
But before the committee
His performance was shitty
And so caused his free ride to fail

There once was someone from Yale,
Who thought he was hot crap,
Thus entitled to and deserved a
Slot on the Fed Supreme Judiciary.
He lied through his snarling opposum teeth
And was an embarrassing spectacle on teevee.

he couldn't stop lying,
sniveling, crying
as he raped his way to jail

developed an odd fondness for ale.

Eschewing a glass, it went straight in his ass...

He's clearly gone way b'yond the pale.

Who thought accusations wouldn't stick,
He yelled and he cried,
"I didn't do it! She lied!"
Isn't that how exceptionalists tick?

He never once had to post bail
Would drink himself blind
He bitched and he whined
And this dick thinks that he's Alpha male

A limerick writer online
Wrote a poem that he thought was fine.
But it had a clear flaw --
That priv'lege trumps law,
So there's no chance that Brett will do time.

Whose yearbooks told quite a tale
he righteously goofed
when asked if he boofed
By pulling answers straight out of his tail.

There once was a jurist from Yale
Who spent all his youth chasing tail.
He chugged down the beer
In his victims, struck fear!
Win or lose: a perpetual FAIL.
