Shatner Reads Palin Speech as Poem

On the Passing of Gidget, the Taco Bell Dog

AQUI IN HEAVEN
For the Taco Bell Dog--
(apologies to Eric Clapton)

Yo quiero Taco Bell
Even more now in heaven
Would it be the same
If Taco Bell was in heaven
I must not bark, but carry on
‘Cause I can’t find Taco Bell
Aqui in heaven

I would love to see
The Fresco menu in heaven
I would risk rabies
for chalupas in heaven
I'll smell my way, through night and day
‘Cause there must be some Taco Bell
Aqui in heaven

Death can make me beg
Death can dull my bling
Death’s not a la carte
Has me shivering
Shiverrrrring

Debajo las nubes
There's cinnamon twists I'm sure.
But I guess there’s no Taco Bell
Aqui in heaven

Yo quiero Taco Bell
Even more now in heaven
Would it be the same
If Taco Bell was in heaven
I must not bark, but carry on
‘Cause I can’t find Taco Bell
Aqui in heaven
