A Campaign of My Own

All this campaigning gives me the shivers

In my opinion politicians are all crooks

Who seldom deliver.


But I've got bigger fish to fry

I need to talk to CG

I hafta convince her why

She should help this guy.


I found her in her office

Puzzling over the next print

"Well hello there beautiful,"

She gave me that glint.


"IF it isn't Loopy Lou

Or wait that's right

That wasn't  you.

Achoo!"


"Bless you.

Sorry about that, CG

But it was the deal

It's what had to be."


"What do you want,

Shamus McGinty?"


CG swiped her nose,

"I want to help, "

And then she froze.


"And I need yours as well.

I can get that warrant

Squared away

So all will be swell."


CG looked at me

Rather suspiciously.

"And what price am I to pay

to make all this go away?"


"It'll be rather easy, see?

I just need your help

Getting Lou to come

Back to me."


"And why would I help you do that?"


"Because I can make that murder charge

Disappear... is that a cat?"


CG sneezed and looked down at kitty

It let out a hiss.

"You know I won't help you,

Now you get this...

I want you to leave

Leave now do you hear?

I want you to go

And never come near."


"Aw, come on CG?

I'm lost without her

I love her, so much

Not that it matters."


"I done her wrong

That I know

But if ya won't help

I guess I'll go."


"I just have to find

Another way

To get Lou back."

*He tips his hat*


"Hope ya feel better, CG.

 Should ya change yer mind

Ya know where to find me."
