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."
