Thanks to Chris for posting this poem by Garrison Keillor for Molly Ivins.

Molly Ivins Enlivens Us All
By Garrison Keillor

Molly Ivins
Enlivens us all.
She was tossed in—
To Austin
But could thrive in
St. Paul.
If you’re arrivin’ —
Whenever you’re due—
Give me a call
Soon as you’re here.
I’ll find a drive-in
That serves barbecue
And Lone Star beer.

Two-thousand seven
She’s flown up to heaven
And is giving St. Peter
(Who came out to meet her)
A piece of her mind.
We miss you, old girl,
It’s a poorer world
You’ve left behind.
