Sic Semper Tyranni, a limerick

Though democracy sometimes looks rosy,
A despotic regime of the cozy,
Howe'er it's arranged,
Some things never change.
The law serves the idle and nosy.

ORDER, n.  The breach of the law and the opposite of progress.

TLP, you letting Selena type for you?

Mireille, I checked the spelling and everything.

Anchovies and jalapeños for me, Mo'a.

That too, Amoeba. May it ever be so.

Quilly, I know just the waitress you mean.

Poobah, beware the ape with a stick.

BITSOW, Weirsdo.

Right, A-bell. It's Wednesday. Think I might have some too.

Terry, take Route 66 East as far as it goes and wait for Spring.

Jack McCoy might suspect TLP has been into the sweet cherry pie again. Should he place another order?

When I looked it up, I found that John Wilkes Booth yelled "Sic Semper Tyranni" as he shot Lincoln. I'm learning all kinds of neat stuff from Doug.

Sauerkraut, I had to google Jack McCoy. Now I have to google cherry pie.

Yea, Mireille, as soon as I hit publish I realized my mistake. In sixth grade I had a crush on a red-haired girl named Selena, so this typo works out well for you.

Nope, TLP. It was just Muphry's Law at work.

Cooper, they walk among us. And within us.

Jim, they're out of order! I'm out of order! This whole court is our of order! I don't know why no-one else thought of that. We needed you.

Icy, I'm here to serve.
