We get POEMS (The Next Mayor)

There are some really creative people in this town.

This political poetry has been submitted to us by a reader with a poetic sense of justice. We thought you'd enjoy it, too.

In an election
until now dreary
Bob Brady flubbed
a disclosure query
Now all hell
is breaking loose
As Tom Knox milks
this golden goose.

When first challenged,
Bob didn't defend it
"If it's a mistake,
I'll just amend it"
Then he learned
you can't do that
Now he's taking
a different tack

Challenged in court
his plan is dandy:
Hire Steve Cozen
and his pal Sandy
(Not election lawyers
but yet
She just last year
saved Babette)

(And there's more...)

So why is Bob confident
he won't get tossed
When others like Vern and Braxton
have lost?
Because the judges
who'll rule on his pension
All know that someday
they'll seek retention
And how better
to ensure a loss
than to cross
the party boss?

So if there's a lesson
then this is it:
Bob Brady's still expert
at spinning the shit.
