When out on the beach
in front of his rented condo
Chuckie sprang from his couch
to see his old friend Jimbo
His state party chairman
is what would appear
All tubby and incompetent
it was certainly Greer
With a little old driver
chauffeuring him in a new Cadillac
Charlie knew in a moment
he should feed him a snack
Faster than Rubio’s rise
his do-boys they came
And he snapped his fingers
and he called them by name
“Now Fasano! Now Lemieux!
Now Atwater and Cretul!
On Pruitt! On McCollum!
On Akins you fool!”
“To the top of the polls
to the top of the Congressional halls!
Now, dash away! Dash away!
fools you are, all!”
And then, in a twinkling
he heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing
of Fasano’s hoof
As Charlie lay in his tanning bed
and was turning around
Down the chimney Jim Greer
came with a bound
He was dressed like a goon
like some two-bit thug
And his reputation was all tarnished
like a cockroach bug
His eyes were so sullen
his dimples – so flat
His cheeks were like muffins
his nose like a rat
His droll little presence
made Charlie laugh
And he knew it wouldn’t be long
before Greer made his next gaffe
He had a broad grin
as Charlie talked of the traitors
“We’ll purge Allen Cox
and feed him to gators”
Greer spoke not a word,
but went straight to his work
Then he told his new intern
she was a really big jerk
And then he recounted
all the moneys misspent
And then off in his limo
to Dunkin Donuts he went
Then he sprang to his Gulfstream
his staff carried his bag
And the governor lay there knowing
the grassroots would gag
Then he heard him exclaim,
as the jet began to depart
“I’m still the party chairman,
with whom Charlie won’t part!”
