The Governor Gets the Bad News

The Governor Gets the Bad News

By Elton Camp

Since President Obama can’t run again
The presidency is open for anyone to win

The salary’s okay, but nothing so great
But the benefits would be hard to hate

In free, public housing POTUS resides
And is supplied a long, black limo besides

He never has to mow the yard or weed
A plumber’s on staff to meet any need

Another bonus that is extremely neat
He has Camp David as his own retreat

A staff of servants are at his command
A fine jet’s ready to use on his demand

Chris Christie thought all that was so fine
“Oh, how much I wish that job were mine!”

But he didn’t welcome with the same delight
Finding POTUS pays for his food--every bite

He looked like he was well on his way to DC until Bridgegate surfaced. Good write.

Right. I don't know if he can overcome that or not. Likely not. Thanks for reading. Elton
