FIRST MONDAY LIMERICK CONTEST

Readers of the old version of this site will recall that we were big fans of the now-cancelled CBS television series "First Monday." Taking our cue from Justice Hoskins's penchant for limerick poetry, and in honor of the show's realistic and even-handed treatment of Supreme Court practice, we ran a contest just before our hiatus for best Supreme Court limerick. This entry, although on the mean-spirited side, is the best of the submissions:

There once was a Justice named Breyer,
Who was either a fool or a liar.
He re-wrote the laws
To the leftists' applause.
I pray he will quickly retire.


Please continue to e-mail us your limericks, and we'll post the best ones on the site.
