The Way That Crazy 'Liz' Cheney Died
Remembering the taste with Tom T. Hall to
"The Year That Clayton Delaney Died"
(I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died.)

We remember the way that Crazy 'Liz' Cheney died.
They said the menu sure seemed pretty cut and dried.
But no one's figured out who put 'Liz' on Sarah's list,
Or why she was the one that Facebook's proofreaders missed.

She'd been scheduled to appear on The Alaskan's cooking show,
Belatedly explaining the deliciousness of 'No'.
Then the tragedy occurred that Rachel Maddow said she feared.
Instead of being Tweeted, AK-22s appeared.

One rumor has it Stupak knew but never said a word.
Cheney an abortionist? Could that claim be cleverly inferred?
Even so the fact remains the list was most effective.
Far more so than Sarah Palin's usual invective.

Democrats as targets sounded damned dramatic,
But can't compare with serving up a GOP fanatic.
Was it accidental or did the Devil play a role?
How could he when 'Liz' Cheney seemed such a pleasant soul?

Yet she was where the crosshairs were, so Crazy Cheney died.
Standing by the barbecue, she slumped and slid inside.
Cheney mixed with caribou, a combination heretofore untried,
Meant that those who tasted can't forget how Crazy Cheney died,
Remembering the scrumptious way that Crazy Cheney died.
