MOST HORRENDOUS CRIME OF THE YEAR
A Carol in Rhyme for the Holiday Time

(These lyrics may be sung to the familiar Christmas carol tune,
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.")

What's the most horrendous crime of the year?
Did Obama inhale it,
Would Clinton unveil it,
And who really cares?
What's the most horrendous crime of the year?

What's the most horrific scam to befall?

There's a fake ossuary
That proved most contrary
And not Christ's at all,
What's the most horrific scam to befall?

We've had Britney Spears driving,
Our fuel prices rising,
And houses refusing to sell;
There were foreclosure stories,
Big financial gories;
The Dow-Jones, it rose and then fell.

What's the most horrendous crime of the year?
As Drew Peterson cowered,
The Cabinet deflowered,
Advisors, feel fear!
What's the most horrendous crime of the year?

Who's the hap-happiest convict of all?
Is it OJ, once more,
Inmate Paris, for sure,
Lindsey Lohan's free-fall?
Who's the hap-happiest convict of all?

We have Dubya for roasting,
The Dems, they are toasting,
The GOP's loading for bear.
We have scary stump stories
Reliving the glories
Of candidates no longer there.

What's the most horrendous crime of the year?
We've had too much tiptoeing
And not really knowing
The truth so unclear.
What's the most horrendous crime of the year?

What's the most tremendous,
Most stupendous,
Most upend-us,
Overspend us,
Might offend us,
But won't bend us,
Most horrendous crime of the year?
