There was an old Cheney...

In hearing Dick Cheney’s long awaited response to this weekend’s shooting incident, “I pulled the trigger that fired the shot that hit Harry,” I couldn’t help be reminded of The Little Old Lady who swallowed a fly. I imagine, if the song were adapted to this weekend’s accident, it might sound something like this:

There was an old VP who almost killed Harry,
Who’s hunting adventure turned terrible scary;
He almost killed Harry while out hunting quail,
But it was his buddy, not dinner, that really got nailed;
He was out hunting quail ‘cause like Charlton Heston
He loves the second amendment and his Smith & Wesson;
The second amendment protects his right,
To fire with both barrels, whatever the fight;
And nowhere are guns loved as much as in Texas,
Where electric chairs and sawed-offs make for a Republican Nexus;
And in Texas is where the old man’s tail ends,
Out in the bush with some of his friends;
His trouble arose when he fired his gun,
Oh what fun, to fire a gun,

Uh oh…it’s Dick…quick, duck and run!
