Whan fair Philadelphia, so wyde and free,
Didst see unfold a tale of high degree,
Of Lord Musk, yclept of iron steedes so proude,
And of his courts celestial, yond the cloude.
He, lord of stars and crafty, distant skies,
Came under earthly law\u2019s most piercing eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For he, in haste, a wondrous game did frame,
One million coins a day, in golden flame,
To they that swore with fealty full trewe,
To vote for Sir Trump and his followers newe.
But natheless was the game set in such gise
That only those of heart for constitution\u2019s prize,
And of thilk election\u2019s noble pride,
Might take the wealth from coffers set asyde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, gretely it happed that Lady Harris bold
Sought for herself that crown of jewl\u2019d gold,
A rival fierce to Lord Musk\u2019s chosen knight,
For Sir Trump, her foe, did seek the selfsame might.
Thus stakes were high, and tempers rose apace,
For each of them would gain th\u2019 election\u2019s grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge of Philadelphia, gravely stern,
Did order Lord Musk to court, his fate to learn,
On one fair Thursday morn, as tale is told\u2014
But Lord Musk was gone, in clouds and stars enfold.
O noble folk did whisper of his scorn,
Of judge\u2019s rule and town and sacred morn,
And spake of how he mocked the summons grave,
And thought he stood above the courtly wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

His scribes by candlelight did seek that night
To shift the tale from commonwealth to fighte
Of federal realm, where mightier hands reside,
And where, they thought, their master\u2019s will might bide.
\u201cYon judge\u2019s law,\u201d they cried, \u201cbut serves his ends,
A politicke game that ever downward wends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then arose, of Philadelphia\u2019s hall,
Sir Larry Krasner, feared by folk and all,
Who cried, \u201cNo scheme nor plan nor sweepstake\u2019s game
Shall thwart the law or bring it into shame!
Forsooth, the people\u2019s voice must guarded be,
Free from Lord Musk\u2019s gifts or golden treachery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Law learned men did argue, wise and shrewd,
If Lord Musk\u2019s bright games and fortunes might be lewd\u2014
For gifts of gold, in voting\u2019s sacred field,
Might cause a heart to waver or to yeild.
Thus stands the tale, for Lord Musk has kept his distain,
And where he\u2019ll stand, the court shall seek his ass to stain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But soon, the judge\u2019s patience shall wax thin,
And then, like wind upon October\u2019s sin,
The wrath of court may rise with vengeful gale,
And cast Lord Musk\u2019s riches as a darker fail.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for the  Philadelphia district attorney, Larry Krasner, said on Thursday the initial hearing at city hall was still scheduled. In the original suit, Krasner argued that Elon Musk\u2019s petition and associated contest were \u201cindisputably violating\u201d specific Pennsylvania laws against illegal lotteries. Musk\u2019s attorneys said he was engaging in legally protected political speech and spending.<\/p>The Guardian\/October 31\/24<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
