Pam Roach writes poem about Dorn’s DUI

Sen. Pam Roach has found a creative way to needle Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn over his drunken-driving charge.

The Auburn Republican penned a poem about the Eatonville Democrat’s DUI that she posted on her blog today, one of five poems she wrote about political goings-on during the special legislative session.

Dorn issued a statement of apology today saying he has hurt his loved ones.

Roach asks on her blog: “Should he stay in office?”

While readers are pondering that question, she offers this Dr.Seuss-style poem, suggesting Dorn may avoid consequences for his action even though he “probably has found no cure”:

See Randy drive.
Randy can drive.
He drinks beer and can’t really steer.

Can Randy stop in time?
Will Randy hit a child of mine?
I do not know Pam I am.
Will he pay a fine?
I do not know Pam I am.
Will he spend some time?

Will parents be blind?
Will voters be kind?
I do not know Pam I am.
But this we know for sure.
He probably has found no cure.
No matter Pam I am.
The papers will pass.
He will say mass.
The judge will defer.
His colleagues concur,
So Randy can drive.
See Randy drive.
