Scalia (Song Parody To Leonard Bernstein’s Maria, from West Side Story)
Though I already wrote an Antonin Scalia limerick today, I’m itching for more. So I composed these song parody lyrics to the tune of “Maria.”
Now Scalia/Maria does sound obvious. So I’m surely not the first to use “Maria” to parody Scalia. But I don’t want to do a Google search, lest I be inadvertently influenced by someone else’s lyrics.
And with that disclaimer out of the way, here’s my parody:
Scalia,
The jiggery-pok’ry Scalia,
Treats justice like a game,
The worst judge I can name, you see.Scalia,
The wingnutty jurist, Scalia,
Demands the final word
With phrases so absurd, to me.Scalia,
When he loses a case, he’s sulking,
And his presence is always so hulking.Scalia,
The nastiest Justice, Scalia.Scalia, Scalia, Scalia, etc.
Scalia,
Pitches disses, instead of reason,
Disagreements with him — treats like treason.Scalia,
That sore-losing, pompous Scalia.The most odious person on that Court:
Scalia!

How do you solve a problem like Sca-li-a…”
(Somewhere, I believe, I actually wrote that doggerel, but I can’t locate it now. Feel free to use the line if you like. But it would be hard to top your “Maria” parody… excellent, Mad!)
