I posted this elsewhere a few years ago, with a congresswoman from Georgia in mind.
Girl with a gun
You walked into the congress
like you were walking onto a yacht
Your heart existentially tied to the big lie
A peach tree dish full of rot (1/3)

If you park Illegally you're an illegal parker. Or, simply, an illegal. (Replace 'park' with anything you prefer.)
