Notoriety
He was a man of notoriety,
A maker of the law.
He was known for his piety,
A crusader for the poor.
He went about his daily tasks,
With forthright regard.
In his job wore many masks,
Never found it hard.
Often in the news,
For his very good deeds.
This would often amuse,
Those with certain needs.
The ones that did work for him,
Till the job was done they stayed.
But now know chances are slim,
Of them ever getting paid.
He was a man of notoriety,
A maker of his own law.
He was known for his piety,
Had a way of making workers poor.
