A Job For Life

A job that's appointed for life
Is bound to cause some people strife
     For over the years
     Annoyance appears;
That goes, too, for husband and wife.

So the Justices of the High Court
Who have no one to whom they report
     Should be forced to bow out
     And relinquish their clout
Well before they've a final retort.

Though if Ginsburg lives 20 more years
It might quiet a few of my fears
     For if Gorsuch gets in
     The Republicans win
And I'll drown all my sorrows in beers.
