Maryland and the Irish Guv
There once was a Guv named O’Malley
Whose political career did not dally.
‘Cause promises he made
And surpluses he’d raid
In hope no taxes he would tally.
There once was a Guv named O’Malley
With union leaders he would rally.
More trading of votes
For promissory notes
Budgeting Maryland into a blind alley
There once was a Guv named O’Malley
Controlling votes like slaves in a galley.
For legislators are sure
Redistricting’s impure
Sending them to political Death Valley.
So here’s to the Guv named O’Malley
Who taxed Maryland deep into the valley.
Whilst Annapolis would struggle
With D.C. he would snuggle
Wanting his presidential finale.
