Two spoken poems by Sen. Larry Craig

Just as Scooter used to do it...

Spoken to police June 11, 2007, at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport...

CHANCE ENCOUNTER

By L. Craig

Your foot came toward mine.
Mine came towards yours.
Was that natural?
I don't know.

Did we bump?
Yes, I think we did.
You said so.
I don't disagree.


FAIRLY WIDE GUY

By L. Craig

I'm a fairly wide guy.
I had to spread my legs
When I lower my pants
So they won't slide.
Did I slide them
Too close to yours, did I?

I looked down once.
Your foot was close to mine.
Did we bump?
Ah, you said so.
I don't recall that,
But apparently we were close.
