Mayor

The store stayed open
and scared the mayor
making her cry for help.

The policemen came
and fined the store
stopping the sale of kelp.

Now the mayor is happy
and the police been paid
while the councilmen bask in their power.

And the money's changed hands
for the politicians to spend
while the mayor gets paid after hour.
