Ben Shapiro Shares Poem Ahead of Memo Release: ‘Twas The Night Before Memo…’

Anticipation is turned up to 11 in the lead up to the release of the highly controversial GOP memo. In preparation for the big reveal, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro shared a poem he wrote on Twitter in the spirit of the classic Christmas poem by Clement Clarke Moore.

In honor of Memo Night, this unfinished masterpiece:

‘Twas the night before memo, when all through the House
Not a creature was stirring, not even a louse;
The stories were prepped for the press with great care,
In hopes that the cameras soon would be there;

Congressmen nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of prostitutes danced in their heads;
And Trump on his Twitter, and I on my app,
Had just settled our brains for tomorrow’s big scrap,

When on CNN there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my couch to see what was the matter.
Away to the laptop I flew like a flash,
Tore open the screen and prepared for the clash.

Wolf Blitzer was shouting about breaking news,
And wild Jim Acosta was shouting J’accuse!
And then to my wondering eyes did appear,
One Devin Nunes and his four-page premiere.

With some members of Congress so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment they’d all make me sick.
More rapid than eagles they ran to name names,
While Schiff shouted out that he had counterclaims.

“Now, Comey! Now, Rosenstein! Now Strzuck and Page!
On McCabe! On Mueller! Our sources of rage!
To the top of the jail! To the top of Trump’s wall!
Now go away, go away, go away all!”

— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 2, 2018

That’s as far as I’ve gotten. And I have to go drink myself into oblivion in preparation for tomorrow.
