Dirty Denny

Dirty Denny
By Madeleine Begun Kane

There once was a House Speaker Denny,
With character not worth a penny.
He failed to shield teens
From a boy-obsessed fiend.
Family values? He doesn’t have any.

    GW gazes around
    uncertain which lie to expound
    he looks a bit tense

    should be lack of high moral ground
