Fitting the Crime
The governor’s accusers
Say he acted in a way
That made them cringe and naturally,
He has to somehow pay.
All three of them reported
Language seeming to suggest
A kiss or maybe more would be
Enjoyed at his behest.
He touched one on her back, connecting
With her skin exposed,
Which made her most uncomfortable,
She recently disclosed.
Demands for Cuomo to step down
To me seem out of whack,
Especially when we’ve heard boasts
Of grabs below the back.
Behavior should be judged, of course,
Apologies deserved,
But resignation shouldn’t stem
From three who’ve been unnerved.
The governor should learn from this
And watch the way he acts,
While those so quick to punish him
Should follow just the facts.
