An easy mistake but a luminary in another field penned that one.

Senator Sam Irvine was yer penner.

He chaired the committee looking into the excesses of McCarthy.

And if that is not luminous enough maybe chairing the committee looking into Watergate would clinch it.

Still we should be glad he had time to pen what I made into a song with slight changes. Always credited.

The rain it raineth on the just
and also on the unjust fella;
but most it raineth upon the just,
coz unjust just stole the just's umbrella.

Think tune approximating to Bold Riley. The brevity is very effective - unless the audience are hard of thinking.
