Nursery Crymes
Let it rain children
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a bag of peas
Jack came down with a wicked grin
And his trousers round his knees
I didn’t touch her
He did cry
I wasn’t even there
At first he thought he’d been let off
For no one seemed to care
Until Jack’s best mate Jeffrey ‘e
Befell a mighty fall
I’ll take you bastards down with me
Was his triumphant call
Thus Jack fell down and broke his crown
His titles stripped away
He’s banished now from Christmastide
And told to stay away
With thanks to Lamar and Judey

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
