Tongue-Tied
The Special Counsel subpoenaed Mike Pence;
His compliance for now is in suspense.
He’s tried so hard to balance on the fence,
This legal issue’s bound to make him tense.
Despite his central role in Jack Smith’s case,
He badly wants to stay in the big race
For nomination, and to testify
He’d kiss his presidential hopes goodbye.
The worst he’s said so far is Trump was “reckless,”
Misled by his attorneys, but this feckless
Equivocation won’t save him in court.
Executive privilege, a last resort,
Has not held up for others close to Trump;
At best it’s likely to be a speed bump
To slow the prosecution but not stop it.
If he had any guts, the guy would drop it
And just come forward to tell what Trump said
Before the moment he wished Pence was dead.
If Pence could finally loosen up his tongue,
A jury might be saved from being hung!
