Lettuce hear a sorry tale
Of something better than a little kale
Steal a billion dollars here and there
With crypto crime, nothing's fair
A hundred years in the slammer
Makes a vegetarian want to yammer
Give me salad! Ignore my lies!
How can I live on burger and fries?!
It's really not fair, they give me no peas
Not even a carrot, for my not guilty pleas!
It's my girlfriend's fault, it's not mine
How will I survive on prison wine?

“'I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S. Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as ‘an official act,' lawyer Marc Elias, whose firm defends democratic election laws, wrote today on social media. He added: 'I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.'”
