Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Alger Hiss

Alger Hiss, symbol of the times.
Leaning to the left was excuse
By the leaning right to charge crimes,
And no matter how fast and loose.
It was rightee's turn to pay back
Lefty for acting oh so smart.
Paint lefty pinko was the tack
By stabbing at the bleeding heart.
Nixon was such a stabber fine.
Targeting Hess was Nixon's way
To get the public's eye and shine.
The rest is history they say.

Lie to Congress and go to jail,
'Cause Congress can't stand a tall tale.
