"Dummies Need Ventriloquists"

(At least Clarence does.)

Why don't I ask questions
When the Court is in session?
It isn't because I don't care.
Give me a break, people. I wouldn't dare...

I am as silent as the Egyptian Sphinx.
My speaking ability stinks.
Who'd I embarrass where everyone'd see?
I am afraid it would be little old me.

Ginni talks for us both when I am home.
I can't get a word in edgewise.
Scalia does the same to me when I'm at "work,"
Making me look like the Court's booby prize.

I've been a big booby most of my life,
But, hey, if Chase & Sanborn still is around,
With my wife, Ginni, as my own Edgar Bergen
We'd outsell Scalia & Roberts by many a pound.
