Jesus Walking on Water on Grandview Avenue 1. Jesus 2. Wastewater Director 3. Rat 4. Devil's Disciple 5. Auditor 6. Solicitor 7. Unelected Mayor 8. Hepzibah |
O, shit! Not another flood?
Haven’t they got it under control?
No, fixing downspouts was a dud,
Money poured down a rat hole.
O say can you see
The solicitor in this spoof?
The pawn of the S.O.M.C.—
He’s mortgaged through the roof.
Duncan’s been fired more than once.
He only knows how to sue.
The rat chews out the dunce
Up to his neck in do-do.
A preacher of pretense,
In the rear is our unelected mayor,
Because he’s terminally dense,
He doesn’t have a prayer.
Unable to add,
subtract, or think
About accounting rules he loves to flout,
The auditor’s drowning in red ink,
But charge-offs
bail him out.
And what of that sourpuss,
The devil’s disciple, giving us the finger?
We wish, like Christ, we could walk on water,
But we’re just recycled through the wringer.
