Well, more accurately, An Ode to Pat and Lisa...
It was a quiet morning, the ninth of December,
A day the state will forever remember.
The Feds pulled up and knocked on the door,
Of our governor whose jaw dropped to the floor.
Is this a prank, a joke, a really bad gag?
No sir, you're under arrest, tell your hag.
Word spread like wildfire, news crews deploy,
to cover the fourth busted gov in Illinois.
A Senate seat they claim he tried to sell,
"Golden" he called it. For free? Like hell.
Mr. Fitzgerald, our shining white knight,
Explained to the press the extent of our plight.
Seventy-six pages, the charges did span,
Read it all through? I doubt any [bleep]er can.
The crimes were varied and truly quite stunning,
Were Blago and company really that cunning?
What kind of idiot would be such a yutz,
And effectively kick his state in the nuts?
If we're lucky, Lisa Madigan will succeed,
At reclaiming the power on which Blago does feed.
If Roddie is allowed to continue his reign,
The people of Illinois will keel over in pain.
Appoint friends and family? Flush our taxes down the loo?
Or maybe just give Obama's seat to some yahoo.
The hellish possibilities cause uncomfortable laughter,
So please Patrick and Lisa, end this sad chapter!
