Lawmaker Steve LaTourette Is Retiring

In 2003, this Ohio Republican had

An unforgettable fling

With an underling whose name had

A most memorable ring.

I wonder if this LaTourette

Chap took

A special delight in hiring Jennifer

Laptook.

With a name like that, LaTourette

Couldn’t resist

This former aide who had become

A lobbyist.

How long did Mister LaTourette have to wait

To get a chance

For Laptook to put down her laptop & hop up

For a lap dance?

(People, I swear sometimes

The poetry elves

Intervene & these poems just

Write themselves.)

Like fellow philanderer Speaker Gingrich who

Often heard lots of boos & hisses

LaTourette hoped to put this behind him when

He made his mistress his next Mrs.

And like Republicans with wandering eyes

Whose behavior is contradictable

He wanted Bill impeached due to Monica ---

These guys are so predictable.
