Shake hands with your Uncle Mike
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my dear.
How dare you look so distressed!
Folks are railroaded every day,
Nothing personal, dear, in this.
.Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my dear.
So what if they're innocent?
So what if I skirted procedure and law?
Why, certainly, we can be friends.
.
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my dear.
Don't look at me with such disgust!
I know I didn't investigate,
But my voters wanted a trial so much.
.
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my dear.
How dare you recoil from my hand!
I needed to win that Primary fight.
A smart girl really should understand.
.
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my dear
The TV cameras would eat up that shot...
Students for Ethical Durham, eh?
Being "ethical" is not really smart...
..
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my dear.
Forget all the pain that I've caused!
The tears of the Moms, the family distress,
It never gave ME any pause.
.
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my dear.
I'm not a leper, you know.
I don't care that your eyes say I'll never regain
Respect among decent folks.

Perfect! Keep it up Joan :)
Joan, do you ever sleep? Your creativity and wit never stop. Great post.
Thanks for all that you are doing, Joan! He is the face of evil in this case.
Great poem!!!!! Keep up the good work!!! I know that you are doing all you can do to keep the word alive of how evil Mr. Nifong is.
This is an awesome piece of work! It captures the whole hoax in singable form. Who knew that could be done? I know I'll be memorizing it and serenading all.
I will add these students to my list of heroes of which Joan and liestoppers is at the top.
Thank you!
After all the derogatory comments he has made about Duke students, I find it disgraceful for him to approach these students. He placed them in a horrible situation and I admire them for not shaking that horrible man's hand. Once again, I am impressed by the Duke students. He probably would have loved to have gotten a photo with them for the H-S - I'm sure it would have contained some twisted heading like "Duke students excited to meet Nifong and wished him luck."
Good thing they didn't shake his hand. Don't want him to obtain any actual DNA - never know how he would use it against you.
Joan, I hope you are working on a victory poem/song. Your work has captured how outrageous this little tyrant really is. It has also given us a moment of levity when we have felt the frustration of this case. We thank you.
How great is it that these kids recognized the Fong as a scum-bag not to be trusted!! WTG kids!

Ashley Cannon says Nifong ignored her sexual harassment complaint.
Nifong is the devil in human form. I can't think of any American alive who is as purely evil as he is. Can you?
