FLAWS
Seems to me this nation would have less flaws
If we could purge millions of inane laws
Made by congresspersons
Alas, it only worsens
'Tis enough to tighten this feller's jaws
FLAWLESS
Though Wyatt Earp's modus operandi was far from flawless
He knew how to administer justice to the lawless
He faced some rowdy cowboys in a godforsaken locale
Leavin' 'em sprawlin' in the dust at the OK Corral
