Sathington Willoughby

We are gathered here
Today in these majestic
Halls of old to honor
A man they call
Sathington Willoughby.
There's a joke or two,
A pun or three
I feel that must be told
Then I go on to speak of
Sathington Willoughby.
Sathington Willoughby
The legislator that
Penned us up a bill
That banned the use
Of certain things like
this and that
this and that
this and that
this and that
this and that


- “Sathington Willoughby”, written by Les Claypool of Primus, off their 1990 CD Frizzle Fry




Posted in honor of Chuck Schumer and his congressional ilk, who seek to legislate all the badness out of our lives. There isn’t a tragedy they can’t keep from happening again due to the mighty power of their pens. Whatever would we do without them!
