In Which A Wiretap Reveals That Roland Burris Was A Vogon All Along!

Today, through wire taps we have unmasked

A fake Dentrassi, who was caught on tape

Maneuvering to save his own sweet -- asked

Repeatedly before, he did escape

The question of his giving quid pro quo

With clever talk -- but now we all may hear

Him whining to the brother of Blago:

His business threatens failure, he has fear

Of going under. Vogon to Vogon,

Does Roland Burris promise to provide

Support for Blago's campaign to stay on

As Prostnic. Before they both denied
That this was how Roland got to D.C.

But this sure sounds like pay to play to me.

BONUS SONNET: Poor Roland Burris Just Can't Scrape Off The Blagojeblech

Said Golgafrincham Captain Dick Durbin
To his Dentrassi pal and counterpart,
"Dude, do you know the mess that you are in?
You'd just resign and leave if you were smart."
Said Burris to his partner "Umm, no way.
My only sin was offering to help
Supply frood food for Blago's next buffet."
Said Durbin, "Fine, you dumb Dentrassi whelp,
Go hang with Vogon Blago; I don't care."
(Apologies, I will admit, are due
To Douglas Adams, though I firmly swear
I think he'd laugh at what is happ'ning, too).
And so as I take in this news, I'm torn
Between profound dismay and snarky scorn.
