Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Burlesque

C2 O Grinning

Capitol Hill lawmakers
busy be sound byte spinning
Graft siphon those sawbuck bills,
so succubus sly

Cheshire cat revenue takers,
queeny crooked smile grinning
Wink the incubus eye,
and nod about 
how much cheddar they gon steal

Fat cats sitting on a lounge relax
in their dark backrooms,
blowing cigar smoke rings
Marking the Treasury tax map
with grifter circles

Them Cheshire cat one tracks
love 
puffing out the zeros

C2 O        mirror and smoke
Disappearing cash,
tip-toeing up 
the pocket chimney it goes

C2 O   ash-tinted windows
Cheshire cats
ogling claws 
greedily scratching fo’ mo’

C2 O      taxpayer choke hold
Got a crooked,    grinning clasp ...
Grifter greedy green paw grasp,
ain’t never gon smiley let go

C2 O       mirror and smoke
Cheshire cat one tracks
love puffing out   the zeros

C2 O   ash-tinted windows
Every tax loophole  ...  open cash register,
they don’t ever   shut close
