The Lyin’ King Or There Goes The Judge, There Goes The Judge Poem by Joe Rosochacki

U. S. District Court Judge Samuel Kent is the lyin’ King,
Not the Broadway musical of the film of the same name.
He espoused himself to others that he is the Lion King and ‘is the government’,
His praises by his peons would ever sing,
As he would cry out, “I Just Can’t Wait to be a King”.
Samuel Kent had sexually harassed women in his court room though it was plain sight,
I could imagine him singing in drunken stupor
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight? ” -(hiccup)
Samuel Kent admitted to the nonconsensual acts;
-he was distraught after losing his first wife.
“Just the facts Ma’am - urh- Judge, just the facts.”
(Dragnet and Perry Mason plays in mind.)
All in all it’s called Karma,
the Golden Rule,
- and the “Circle of Life.”
“We are One”,
Under this law of the land
And when it’s over and done,
He should resign his post immediately and bid ‘ta-ta’,
Be put in prison,
And raise a chorus or two to sing “Hakuna Matata.”
