Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

On Meeting a 'swamp Creature'

Have you ever met a creature of the swamp
  the kind that makes his home in the DC bureaucracy

I hear there are hundreds of thousands of them
  I shop at Macy's, so why haven't I met one 

Perhaps I should visit them at home, I've thought
  but getting soaking wet, I'd have to remove my ascot
                                     (Perish the thought!)

O, what's the use? I just can't find this alleged 'swamp creature'
  I'm off to see 'Alligators & Crocodiles' at the Bijoux ~ today's double feature
