It’s Flag Day

It’s Flag Day, so Justice Alito,
Your flag pole can’t be incognito,
So try to be true 
To the red, white and blue;
Keep it upright, or you’ll feel the heat-o.

If your wife sets that banner to flying,
There really can be no denying 
That its upside-down stance
Means there isn’t a chance 
That your ignorance claim isn’t lying.

For a judge who presides on the court 
Should be able, with ease, to abort
Plans that fly in the face
Of decorum, in place 
So his rulings won’t somehow fall short.

Red, white and blue, as the niece of a Viet Nam Vet, I will always be true.

Let's just be glad that male Supreme Court Justices are not displaying their flags from unzipped pants --- not yet, anyway! lol. Happy Flag Day, Ilene. ~ Gershon
