The Comedic Candidate 

Joe Dougherty


Down a path through a wooded glen
Strolled the old hapless comedian
His humor now but a memory fading
His life spent merely masquerading

Things are seldom as they appear to be
And the serious life was not for he
Laughter was his gift to give
But a nobler life he’d wished he’d lived

Times of plenty fade away
Hearts of greed now rule this day
No time for fooling or child’s play
It’s off to work there’s bills to pay

So tally up your life in things
And pay your taxes to the Kings
IPOs and Margin Calls
To play the game it takes some balls

They stack the losers out of sight
Those lazy bastards they have no rights
For all of this belongs to me
I stole it fair and square you see

Watching all the shenanigans
Brought a smile to the comedian
And through it all he was quite sad
But the last laugh was his to have
