Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Land of Stinkin'

Governor Quinn of Illinois
Ran and won on promised tax hike.
He's in the bunch of good ol' boy
Doing pretty much what they like.
Quinn said the state house is on fire,
And more taxes would put it out.
So who do the voters rehire?
Arsonist Quinn and pals - no doubt!
The pols keep doing backroom deals,
Smugly assured that voters vote
Like good sheep making piggy squeaks,
Muffled by taxes down the throat.

The state is stuck in stupid stuff.
The voters only huff and puff.
