#86. I Was Ron Wright

The first Congressman to "officially die" from Covid-19 is Ron Wright (R-TX).  His soul ascended to the heavens yesterday.  Or descended to hell.  Or leveled off in purgatory.  I do not know.  Perhaps this photo of him with a cheerful Orange Prolapse will provide some degree of comfort to family, friends, and constituents.

Naturally, I believe his passing to be worthy of parodontax.  That's GlaxoSmithKline (Beecham) for "worthy of parody."

Dedicated to the voters of the 6th District (comprised mostly of Arlington, TX and parts of Ft. Worth).

I Was Ron Wright (R-TX)

Never used to drive a Harley
People said I played with Barbies
Politics it’s tough to make amends
So when all was said and done
China virus ain’t no fun
And when it’s time to change you have to rearrange

I've seen so much legislation blown
I praised Trump smelled his cologne
And in the end my death was not so humane
But the riots did arrive
Still I made it out alive
And that insurrection gave me a migraine

I was Ron Wright
I was not lazy
Oh, but I just might shoot the moon when you go settle scores
You gotta fight
Vote only for me
I may be gone it’s all for show
But I was Ron Wright

Well, a suit and tie is what you’d wear
You’re just sworn in without a care
Donald Trump tweeted that it’d be wild
We must kill the Taliban
And defend Afghanistan
'Cause the chicken hawks are just my kinda style

Now dream about the wars you tried to
Authorize and get us into
You might be as crazy as Trump
And he’s lazier than you
And we know Kushner’s a Jew
And you wouldn't want to watch me take a dump

I was Ron Wright
I was not lazy
Oh, but I just might shoot the moon when you go settle scores
I was pale and white
You can’t rearrange me
I may be gone it’s all for show
But I was Ron Wright

I was Ron Wright
I was not lazy
Oh, but I just might shoot the moon when you go settle scores
You gotta fight
Vote only for me
I may be gone it’s all for show
But I was Ron Wright

I may be gone but I was Ron Wright
I may be gone but I was Ron Wright
I may be gone but I was Ron Wright
I may be gone but I was Ron Wright
I may be gone but I was Ron Wright
I may be gone but I was Ron Wright
I may be gone but I was Ron Wright
I may be gone but I was Ron Wright

You may be right
Billy Joel

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford-Stuy alone
And I rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Well, remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as they
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way

You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

You may be right
I may be crazy
Hey, but It just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Oh, don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
You may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
