A Poem For Chicago

With the local election taking up most of the news cycle for today, let's lighten up the mood.

One of the first blogs I ever posted on this page was an election-style blog. 

Check it out.

Today, I will rehearse a homemade poem on the current state of Chicago.

Enjoy.

With election day here & near

Let's check in quick before the cheers

A blue city with no competition in sight

Except for themselves; it's quite the sight

That might be biased, I just tell it how it is

Despite all the violence, this city still is

The Second City, though we've lost some shine

Since Lightfoot's been in office, there's been nothing but crime

Only time will tell what will happen next

To find out who wins, only one minute left

Until the ballots close

And they turn off all the polls

Sorry folks, it's time to go

Once they shut the park house doors

Hopefully Mayor Lightfoot is no more

She does not deserve an encore, that's for sure
