Tempest In Tampa

(Who and how many?)

Place your bet! Place your bet!
Who and how many will ALEC sharpshooters get?
Will they be the ones that you would have chosen?
Maybe yes. Maybe no. Let's try some supposin':

What had seemed a simple shoot-out has become complicated
As the nationwide sellout of Glocks demonstrated.
Now there's not just a Glock but an Uzi contingent,
Afraid that reliance on Glocks would be overly stringent.

For the Tampa potential has grabbed gun lovers attention
And increasing numbers of anti-movers and shakers.
SCOTUS despisers, naturally, aren't the exception.
But as gamblers our concern is with Chinese bookmakers.

The book they've come up with confuses Karl Rove
But for a draft seems nearly as thorough as it needs to be,
Taking into account each victim's status,
And ranked according to his unpopularity.

Refinements will follow as convention time nears
Giving sharpshooters time to ennumerate all their fears.
Florida's gun laws require that you claim you're afraid.
After these years with Bushie and a G.O.P. Congress,
They should all have it made!

Place your bet! Place your bet!
Who and how many will ALEC sharpshooters get?
