She has every right
To disparage gay marriage
But her work
As a city clerk
Requires her compliance
With the law
Not her defiance
That’s for sure

Also in addition
Religious prohibition
Doesn’t give her permission
Or added ammunition
To disobey the law
When she should just withdraw
From her City Clerk position
If she’s on a mission

She was duly elected
And it was expected
That the law would be respected
Instead she elected
Despite the legal briefs
To insert her own beliefs
And disobey the law
Never mind the oath she swore

When the judge sent her to jail
And refused to set a bail
I think he hit the nail
Her contempt could not prevail
Though she became a cause celebre
On the worldwide web
And they finally set her free
Thanks to Mike Huckabee
