CHICAGO-UNBOUND

The embattled governor of Illinois

Is nothing worse than a naughty boy

Whose habit is outraging grown-ups

With statements he declines to own-ups.

When Blagojevich talks of contributions,

The thin-skinned rage of prosecutions

As if this noble public servant

Weren’t merely being fervent

In placing sky-high values
on

The trust that seats of power spawn.

To prove his honesty to the skeptic

And demonstrate he’s antiseptic

Blagojevich intends to appoint

A man for the U.S.senate joint

Against whom no one certainly

Will cast the charge of bribery:

Himself.  No money will change hands–

Gold Rod’ll be serenaded by bands,

Becoming what tabs’ll be calling "Blago,"

The little-boy senator from Chicago.
