— “Sean Spicer Lawyers Up as Russia Probe Heats Up” (Daily Beast headline)
When you should have been shutting, you were miked and messed up
So now you’re too keyed and too fired and you need to ketchup
The answer’s not putting, not fessing—lawyer up
Get yourself cleaned and well spruced or, better, souped up
Now you feel popped, topped and stopped, but bottoms up!
— William Eaton
