Short Shrift Betrayal! 

Governor's out to dine and dance
With important guests who count
Invitation requested to attend 
One five star restaurant uptown
Menu fair is set for seven courses
Savannah cigars and vintage wine
Will be served before and after meals
All timed for 10:00 and  well before 
Midnight when a dance is to be staged
Toasts before and after dinner is a given 

One guest of the Governor's will not attend
Unless the invitation to get away arrives
But he is in for a special treat if not
An execution dinner has been prepared
Prison chef does his five star best to comply
To the wishes for this last dinner course 
Of just roast turkey with all the trimmings
Provided with paper hats and prizes gifted 
In a traditional Christmas wrapped cracker
And all this sent below at 10:00 right on the dot
To be eaten in plenty of time before the ‘last call’
When this prisoner  becomes the  Governor's guest
To ‘walk the line’downtown into a cold lit private room 
Made of steal to sit in the 'chair'at midnight 
Where electrocution will make him dance his last
And his last words will be I'm innocent!
